Recently I asked to my hosting provider to reload the OS to `Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit minimal` assuming minimal would have the minimum required packages installed, but I realized that mysql was installed so, as I don't need it, I want to uninstall all packages related to it. 

What I did was:

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

```

However I'm still finding mysql binaries and files

```
$ whereis mysql
mysql: /usr/bin/mysql /etc/mysql /usr/bin/X11/mysql /usr/share/mysql /usr/share/man/man1/mysql.1.gz

```

I'm thinking something like

```
$ dpkg -s mysql*

```

But this didn't help.

Any advice?
