and just so i know, what does the f stand for in the command you mentioned
"rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/mysql/"  i know the r stands for recursivly (right?)

the f option on rm stands for force, it turns off prompting and other
error checking.

So rm -rf will delete the /var/lib/mysql/mysql directory and every
file and directory underneath it.
