mysql completely removing
- by Dmitry Teplyakov
I broke my mysql and now I want to completely reinstall it. I tried:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-client mysql-server
But always I see popup with proposal to change root password, I change it and got an error that I can change it..
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-client mysql-server
