对于有的vps，系统默认安装了mysql。我们需要从我们的服务器、vps上卸载(移除)默认的mysql。那么如何(怎样)在ubuntuDebian上卸载mysql?
通常情况下，下列mysql软件包会被安装到 Debian 、Ubuntu中：
mysql-client - The latest version of MySQL database client(最新版的mysql数据库客户端). mysql-server - The latest version of MySQL database server.(最新版的mysql数据库服务端) mysql-common - MySQL database common files(mysql数据库命令文件)
那么如何怎样在ubuntuDebian上卸载mysql？
只需要使用 apt-get 命令 即可，如下面的命令，同时卸载 ubuntu Debian 中的 mysql server 和 mysql client ：
sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-client mysql-server mysql-common sudo apt-get autoremove
解释: --purge 移除所给的软件包和配置文件
remove 表示卸载软件包
autoremove 表示自动卸载软件包，以及与该软件包的依赖(软件包)
输入如下(注意软件包名字)：
