windows 7 - What steps do I need to take to completely uninstall MySQL?

I have installed and uninstalled MySQL Server for about 100 times. Each time I reinstall the thing, it shows the same configurations, which I think cause problems. I would like to get rid of all traces of MySQL and install it as if it was the first installation.

I'v already deleted the MySQL folder, but I'm still having the same problem.

How can I start over and reinstall MySQL?

EDIT: My OS is Windows 7.

Using Windows 7, here's what I had to do:

• Uninstall MySQL using the uninstaller


• Delete C:\Program Files\MySQL


• Delete C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL


• Delete C:\ProgramData\MySQL


• Delete from any Users' AppData folders. Example: C:\Users\rdoverby\AppData\Roaming\MySQL


• Reinstall MySQL
