MySQL server and yum not happy

Hi I am having real problems with my server. Basically mysql has gone completely up the wall. I can get it to start. What I want to do is remove any trace of it from my system and reinstall it. I've tried doing it through yum but this doesn't work.

Heres whats it says:

Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process

How can I remove and reinstall mysql and how can I find where my database files are kept?

Cheers

ls /var/lib/mysql/ => location of mysql databases

yum remove mysql mysql-server
yum install mysql mysql-server

if yum complains try a /usr/bin/package-cleanup --cleandupes (to be sure).

If it still complains you can run
rpm -e mysql
rpm -e mysql-server

then use yum to put them back in.
