Code:
rpm -e mysql
for Java search for the exact package name first with:
Code:
rpm -qa | grep -i java
OR
rpm -qa | grep -i jre
OR
rpm -qa | grep -i j2
Then use rpm -e to uninstall the named package. You can also use that 'rpm -qa | grep' command to search for any other mysql packages that might be on the system.
