Oh dear, you're looking at a learning curve.

My guess is, if there was data, it's deleted. Was there? If so, do you have a backup? If not, you may have to send the hard drive so someone can try to rescue it.

Once that's sorted, you'll want to remove all traces before starting again, with something like ...

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server

and like the Irishwoman who took two pills to be sure, to be sure ...

sudo apt-get purge mysql

Then the question will be, which version to install. If there was data, what version of MySQL was managing it?
