I think it's mysql80, not sql80, and that is the name of a MySQL 8.0 service.

One of many farcical deficiencies in Windows is that it doesn't maintain a history log of all installations. You can look in the events log but not all installations log there.

I would search the hard disk, the registry, and environment variables for mysql*.*. And search services.msc for services that invoke mysql.

You need to lose all MySQL versions except the one that came with MAMP. WAMP MAMP &c are themselves cavalier about MySQL version management, also about clean uninstalls.

Figure out which version MAMP installed. Shut down all instances. Delete the version refs that you do not want from the hard disk, registry, env variables. Then carefully configure the MAMP version.
