Uninstall MySQL from macOS

Question

Trying to unistall MySQL completely but can see 'grep mysql' process after reboot. Can not kill that process its changing PID. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

To stop the services you can use one of these:

• brew services stop mysql
• mysql.server stop

Then you can uninstall it with brew uninstall mysql. But database files will remain, so to clear them just do rm -rf /usr/local/var/mysql

Cheers.
