Completely Removing mysql

Hi,

I am running WinXP on a machine that I recently installed FoxServ 3.0 on. FoxServ installs Apache/mysql/Python/PHP on top of that I installed phpNuke. Everything was up and running fine but I made a few mistakes along the way and decided to start again.

So I uninstalled and re installed the lot. I noticed that mysql obviously hadn't been uninstalled as my created databases were still intact. I had problems trying to get rid of the databases through the browser UI I was using (myadmin or something like that). So i created new DB's for phpnuke to use and carried on regardless. More problems were soon to follow, I ended up in password hell. I could no longer log into phpnuke as an admin, I couldn't seem to edit my database to remove or change author pwd's or user names.

So I want to completely remove all trace of mysql from my system so that I can put my Newbie errors behind me and start a fresh. I would be greatfull of any advice on how I can get rid of all traces of mysql.

Thanks for your time,

_Moss
