Hi Gantry, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and work
with us to make Ubuntu better!
I know this is confusing, but you actually need to purge the underlying
packages as well:
aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1
When you run this, it should ask you for confirmation before removing
all databases.
You can find all packages that are "removed" but not "purged" with
dpkg -l |grep '^rc'
You should see something in there like
rc mysql-server-5.1 5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1
MySQL database server binaries and system database setup
Please purge that package, and if the files are still there, feel free to
re-open this bug report with more information.
Closing with status Invalid.
** Changed in: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
