Uninstalling Then Reinstalling


I am having what I hope is a very simple problem getting started with mySQL.
I had the server running earlier this morning and everything seemed fine.
But I had to unistall it for some reason (I can't even remember why now!)

The problem is, the new installation won't work - the service won't start.
It doesnt give any more information than that.

I went to the services listing in Windows in order to try and restart the
service manually, but as I expected, I got the same problem.

Now, I know whats causing the problem - the service installed by the
original install is still sitting there. I can tell because if I look at its
properties, it still refers to the old installation path. Its as if the
uninstaller didn't unistall the service, just everything else.

Does anyone know how to fix this and why it happend in the first place. I
think I just need to get rid of the service and then everything would be
fine. I can't find anything to do with mysql on my computer or in the reg.

Uninstalling / Reinstalling MySQL
I want to completely uninstall and reinstall MySQL. However, when I unistall MySQL in the standard way, some data remains and when I re-install it retains some data from previous sessions, passwords etc and PHP cannot connect to the newly installed version.

How can I fully remove and re-install MySQL?

Reinstalling Mysql
I had mysql install from the XAMPP bundle, but was having issues with that setup, so I uninstalled and deleted all related directories. Now, when I attempt to install mysql from their distributions from mysql.com, it will not let me assign a password to the root account. The install errors out when trying to apply the security settings.

The error number is 1045, saying access is denied for the root@localhost user.

Also, when I attempt to use the mysql command line client, when I enter the password, the command screen just disappears.

Uninstalling MySQL Service
I have an error that pops up in a prompt saying that "(null) was compiled with ... and PHP was compiled with... They must match." I don't remember the entire pargraph and couldn't copy it so I could paste it here. But part of it was "Thread Safety-1" This window pops up 16 times with OK Only during start up of my windows XP system. I can't tell if it is related to MySQL or PHP.

I have a MySQL Service running that is associtated with a non-existant directory. It is the only one. I want to uninstall the service but don't know how. Windows Service Manager (or MMC) won't let me do anything but start or stop the service. I say the MySQL is associated with that folder because when I select properties it tells me the directory. How can I uninstall this so I can make a fresh start?

Problems Uninstalling And Re-installing Mysql 5.0.15 On Mac OS X
Brand new Mac user trying to install mysql 5.0.15 on local machine running Mac OS X version 10.4.3.

After downloading and opening mysql-max-5.0.15 package, I get the following error: "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."

Tried unistalling mysql (to see if that was the problem) using directions from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/remove-old-mysql.html -- however, after running the command "mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > mysql-dump.sq", I get the following error: "mysql-dump.sq: Permission denied"

Looking for basic step-by-step direction to completely unistall mysql, in order to try re-installing mysql again.
