Completely re-install MySQL?

Dare

Dare

I'm struggling with an issue - I've made an all databases backup using mysqldump -uroot -p --all-databases and after installing new system with mysql I've tried to recover it but it removed the mysql table. Now I've made myself exports of needed tables separately, so I'm ready to import it on fresh instance of mysql5-server.

How I can reinstall mysql5-server completely? When I do make reinstall databases aren't pruned and recreated. Should I remove /var/db/mysql directory manually?
 
I've done
# sudo pkg_delete mysql5-server*
after that
# sudo make reinstall

and databases were preserved. I couldn't make it remove completely existing databases.
