How can I completely remove MySQL 8 from Redhat Linux so I can install MySQL 5?

I am trying to install MySQL 5 on a machine where there was a previous (unsuccessful) attempt to install MySQL 8.

I installed the repo for MySQL 5:

yum localinstall https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql57-community-release-el7-9.noarch.rpm

I then ran:

yum install mysql-community-server

I get:

Error: Package: mysql-community-server-5.7.28-1.el7.x86_64 (mysql57-community)
           Requires: mysql-community-common(x86-64) = 5.7.28-1.el7
           Installed: mysql-community-common-8.0.18-1.el7.x86_64 (@mysql80-community)
               mysql-community-common(x86-64) = 8.0.18-1.el7

How to fix this?

If I run...

yum remove mysql mysql-server

I get...

No Match for argument: mysql
No Match for argument: mysql-server
No Packages marked for removal
