The procedure that worked for me (on Windows Server) is:
(This will remove all your databases, users and such, and will ReInstall MySQL as a fresh copy)

1. Uninstall the MySQL server. Make sure the option to remove everything is checked.
2. Go to your program files, and delete the MySQL folder from there.
3. Then, go to your Local Disk, and under ProgramData (it is a hidden folder, you must enable 'Show Hidden Files', can be searched) there is a folder called MySQL.
4. From that point, you can reinstall the MySQL Server as a fresh copy.

Hope that helps,
