				Does anybody know how I uninstall mysql completely from a windows xp machine?
 
 
The reason I want to know this is because I want to uninstall everything and set it up again to see if I still can remember how to before I format my computer. _________________ The insane dane who loves AWS :D

				Just go to Add/Remove Programs and Uninstall MySQL , after that restart your
 
computer and delete the mysql folder , also my.ini is located in C:\Windows if
 
your using MySQL v4.0.X but it could else where , hope this info helps.

				You probably installed the zip version then , Delete MySQL folder. If you can't
 
delete the MySQL folder , completely delete it after restarting your computer.
