Uninstall MySQL completely from Ubuntu [closed]

Question

I have trouble uninstalling MySQL from Ubuntu. I used the following commands, it doesn't seem to help as I still find the MySQL folder in /etc directory

1. aptitude remove mysql-client

2. aptitude remove mysql-server

3. aptitude remove mysql-common

Please suggest a good way to uninstall it completely and any command to check if the uninstallation was successful. Thank you!

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-client mysql-server
