How to completely delete the MySQL service (clean the registry)

Preface

When installing the executable file of a certain project, it prompted me to uninstall MySQL so that it could install MySQL itself. Then I disabled the MYSQL service. After deleting this folder, I found that it still prompted me to uninstall the MYSQL service.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To disable a service:

Or right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Services and disable it manually.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After searching online, the following conclusions are drawn:

1. In cmd, enter sc delete mysql to delete the service.

2. However, the MYSQL service only shows a disabled status and is not actually cleaned up.

3. Delete related registry information

Search regedit in the Win7 start menu bar to enter the registry editor (you can also open it by entering this command in cmd)

Path 1: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\eventlog\Application\MySQL

Path 1: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\services\eventlog\Application\MySQL

Just delete the entire MySQL folder

4. The MySQL service has been completely cleared and the executable file can be installed.

5. Summary

This method can solve the problem of failure to reinstall MySQL (caused by incomplete cleaning of the MySQL service before).
