  2. How to completely uninstall MySQL?

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Which version of Windows is installed on your device?

    Refer the article ‘Which Windows operating system am I running
    to provide the details.

    I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall MySQL from the device.

    Step 1

    Uninstall MySQL from Control Panel. To do so,

    Go to Control Panel >Programs and Features > Select
    MySQL > Click on Uninstall.

    After you have uninstalled MySQL through Add/Remove programs, you now need to remove the existing database information which includes your actual data. If you need any of that data, be sure to back it up. Next you can delete
    the data directory.

    Step 2

    Run Command Prompt as Administrator and execute the following command to stop and remove MySQL service.

    Net stop MySQL

    Sc delete MySQL

    Step 3

    1. Click on Start, type in Show hidden files and folders.
    2. Select the View tab and select
      Show hidden files and folders
      .
    3. Now explore the following locations and delete following folders.

      C:\Program Files\MySQL

      C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL

      C:\ProgramData\MySQL

      And if exists, delete the folder from the location.

      C:\Users\[User-Name]\AppData\Roaming\MySQL
    4. Restart your device and check the status.

    Get back to us for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.

    Apache/MySQL service settings revert to manual on reboot


    I've maintained an XAMPP localhost on my machine for web development for years and never had any real problem with it. Fairly recently (within the last two or three months, I believe), the services for both Apache and MySQL always revert to a Startup Type of Manual on reboot. Each time, I dutifully go in and reset the Startup Type to Automatic and start the services. Everything is fine until the next reboot. Then, I find that neither Apache nor MySQL are running because the Startup Type has reverted to Manual. So, I do the same thing all over again. I must have reset the two services to Automatic at least a thousand times. They always revert to Manual.

    This has never happened before. Is there a way:

    • To prevent them from reverting to Manual, effectively making Automatic "stick" or
    • Failing that, write a batch file to circumvent whatever Microsoft has done and reset the Startup Type on reboot?

    I just know that the Microsoft software engineers spend many a sleepless night figuring out new and creative ways to make Windows less usable and more inefficient. Aparently, they strike again!
