Uninstall OR Remove MySQL 8 from Linux Ubuntu [Step-by-Step]

Uninstall MySQL completely from Linux Ubuntu 20.04 operating system. Though, I've used Linux Ubuntu 20.04LTS, the steps in this video will work on from Ubuntu 18.04LTS to Ubuntu 21.10 (Latest release). Once MySQL uninstall on Ubuntu is complete, and you want to install it again, checkout my another video tutorial where I've covered MySQL 8 installation on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 step-by-step. Here is the link:    • Install MySQL 8.0.28 on Linux Ubuntu ...
