ReInstall MySQL? Help!

Hi,

My MySQL database is all fucked up because... Never mind. I just want
to reinstall it, I don't care about the data and the rest. I tried to
uninistall it from Add/Remove applications but it still seems to be
there (I can login to the database). Next I tried using rpm -e .....
same thing.

When I try to install it again, I'm informed that the deamon is
already running, bla bla bla. How do I uninstall and reinstall
MySQL???

Thanks

service mysqld stop

rpm --rebuilddb
rpm -e mysql

slocate -u
slocate mysql*

delete everything that is found ...

urpmi mysql

service mysql start

and you are set to go ... I hope ;-)

Why service? I recall you are on mandrake ...
