How to deinstall mysql?

Hello guys, I am having some troubles with MySQL 5.6 version, and a lot of people said that I should deinstall it and install MySQL 5.5 . I tried command make deinstall and make deinstall clean.
And I got the error
Code: 
===>  Deinstalling for mysql56-server
pkg-static: No packages installed
===>   mysql56-server not installed, skipping
 
Could you please check with pkg info | grep -i mysql if pkg(8) finds any databases/mysql56-server in its own database? I do not think so.
As pkg-static throws an error here I am not sure if make deinstall is the way to go? Did you install via ports or via pkg?
What version of FreeBSD are you using?
 
Hi SirFulgeruL, just a wild guess but: Are you using an old /etc/make.conf and/or did you change the setting for WITH_PKGNG="YES" between installing mysql56-server and now? Or did you upgrade from the old pkg_ database to the pkgng system without running pkg2ng?
I think your database of installed packages is either corrupted or did not get updated through installing from ports.
Could you please have a look at https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html and report back if that helps? I assume pkg info shows some reasonable output about other installed packages when run?
Please check your /etc/make.conf for "WITH_PKGNG= yes" and try installing another small program from ports and see if this gets added to the output of pkg info.
Do so to check if the problem lies within the databases/mysql56-server port or in general within your make/pkg installation.
 
I don't know what version of /etc/make.conf I'm using, I didn't edit it or change it.

I will reinstall my FreeBSD, and I will reinstall MySQL. I wanted to change it because when I tried to allow my host it said that I already allowed my host and I still couldn't log in. And problems like when I tried to log in to MySQL with putty mysql -u root -p it said that root@localhost doesn't have access. And problems like that. So I will just reinstall it and I will come with a edit after I reinstall FreeBSD.
Thank you for help gqgunhed.
