Yes, free space doesn't seem to be a problem, there's plenty of it.

The "/etc/mysql" directory no longer exists, so no. As I remember the first
time I tried to purge mysql the "/etc/mysql" directory wasn't purged as it had
some files in it, so I removed it manually, I wanted a new, fresh, clean
installation. That, perhaps, was the beginning of my downfall.

Nope, see above.
Basically I want a new, fresh, clean mysql installation. I want the old
installation gone, completely, and that's why I used "purge" instead of
"remove".
Thanks
