Where are instances stored?

I installed MySQL 5.6.15 on my Windows 7 Professional laptop. In the installation wizard, I named the instance MySQL55. When I started MySQL Workbench, the home page showed that instance name.

After experimenting for a few days, I decided to uninstall the program and install it again, trying to start over with a fresh copy. Through Control Panel Programs and Features, I uninstalled everything listed that started with MySQL. I rebooted the system and then installed MySQL again. This time I named the instance MySQL.

However, when I started MySQL Workbench, it still showed the instance name as MySQL55, both on the home page and in the settings for that instance.

Where is the instance information stored? How can I get rid of everything from past installations and start over fresh? Thanks!
