    Uninstall MySQL


    Hi


    I want to completely remove MySql which was installed a few years back. It throws up an error about root something or other followed by an unhandled exception error every time I start up. I haven't used it for a while either so just want to uninstall it without ruining my pc. When I go to uninstall programs I see a long list of MySQL programs. Please can somebody be kind enough to guide me through safely unistalling mysql without damaging my PC.

    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.

    Regards,
