Uninstalling Mysql 5.0.15 tar file
Hi Everyone,

I want to uninstall mysql-standard-5.0.15-linux-i686.tar. The problem is i don't no how to uninstall tar file. I know how to uninstall it through rpm but we have a binary file. can we use make uninstall or remove comand to do so? Or there is some other way of unistalling tar files. I am new to unix so i believe step wise process would give me better understanding of the subject.

Hope to get the answer
Thanks in advance....

A MySQL binary distribution tarball is just extracted and ready to use. So there is nothing here as "uninstall" as there is no install going through. Just remove everything the MySQL directory created after the extraction and that should be it.
