On Windows, go to the services.msc and look for the MySQL service
and stop it. Now you should be able to delete the files.
Then you can use MYSQLD --REMOVE to get rid of the service if you're
doing a complete new install.
Then...you have to make sure after MYSQL is uninstalled that you delete
all directories associated with it, before installing another version.
5.0 creates a \data folder inside the C:\Program Files\MySQL...blah, blah blah
but
5.1 and 6.X use
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MySQL" as the default.
