How can I properly uninstall mysql-5.7.20-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64 which I downloaded and installed some time ago?

I recently installed another copy of mysql as part of a stack installation, but my system still sees the old mysql. Unless I include the full path to the stack copy, when I attempt to run mysql from the command line, I get an error:

WITHOUT PATH ($ whereis mysql : mysql: /usr/bin/mysql.....)

mysql --user=root --password
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

WITH PATH

$ /usr/local/ampps/mysql/bin/mysql --user=root --password
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.

My goal is to have a LAMP stack that can be used for a Drupal 8 site. Any assistance would be truly appreciated.

Steve
