Okay, I have set up an Apache server with SSL, and I am trying to set up MySQL. I was having problems with the installation, so I decided to start over. Out of frustration, I went into the desktop and manually deleted the files. However, when I open the console and type "locate MySQL" files still show up. What can I do to remove these? I know that what I did was stupid, I was just really frustrated...

run this as root

locate uses a database that is still on your machine.

How did you originally install MySQL? rpm or by source?

rpm - then try 'rpm -e MySQL'

By source, then you may need to locate the files and manually delete them.
