There is one more thing that could be an issue, denying deletion ever for root.

Check in the working directory with command lsattr /etc/mysql
The former admin perhaps implemented immutable flag with chattr +i <file>

Until that flag is removed with chattr -i <file>, you won't be able to do much with file except reading it.

Very underused and forgotten feature.

Example :
Code:
root@hickup:~/example# pwd
/root/example
root@hickup:~/example# printf "%s\n" "some text" > example.conf
root@hickup:~/example# chattr +i example.conf 
root@hickup:~/example# lsattr example.conf 
----i---------e---- example.conf
root@hickup:~/example# rm example.conf 
rm: cannot remove 'example.conf': Operation not permitted
root@hickup:~/example# rm -f example.conf 
rm: cannot remove 'example.conf': Operation not permitted
root@hickup:~/example# printf "%s\n" "Add text" >> example.conf 
-bash: example.conf: Operation not permitted
root@hickup:~/example# mv example.conf example2.conf
mv: cannot move 'example.conf' to 'example2.conf': Operation not permitted

Hope that helps

Peasant.
