how to completely remove mysql community workbench from my system

I installed an old version of mysql workbench which was not compactible two years ago.Recently, I decided to install mysql server 8.0.24 using apt but I could not connect to mysql workbench community via the GUI. I now installed another mysql workbench community but I still could not connect. Then I uninstalled the mysql workbench community. Now I want to uninstall it completely both the programs so that I can start afresh.

Based on the documentation, you can uninstall MySQL Workstation like this:

0. Open Terminal (if it’s not already open)
1. Uninstall the package:

   sudo apt-get remove mysql-workbench-community

2. Check if there is a /mysql or /workbench directory in your home directory, and delete it if the files are no longer needed.

If you had installed the snap version of MySQL Workbench, then you can do this:

0. Open Terminal (if it’s not already open)
1. Remove the snap:

   sudo snap remove mysql-workbench-community

That should be it 👍🏻
