How to remove MySQL from Ubuntu and reinstall it

First delete mysql:

sudo apt-get remove mysql-*

Then clean up the remaining data

dpkg -l |grep ^rc|awk '{print $2}' |sudo xargs dpkg -P

A dialog box will pop up, just select yes.

Then install mysql

sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server

You will be prompted to set a root password during installation. If you do not clean up residual data during uninstallation, you will not be prompted to set a root password.

Check if mysql is running

sudo service mysql status

Generally, it will run automatically after the installation is complete.

If it is not running you can

sudo service mysql start
