Perfect solution, you need to remove the private files also
/private/var/db/receipts/com.mysql.mysql.bom

/private/var/db/receipts/com.mysql.mysql.plist

Thanks for this.

Hi Matt, your command completed the process.

For snow leopard you also need:
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.mysql*

Thank you good sir, you are still helping people lo these many years after you first posted this. I was trying to fix a botched MAMP PRO install that had an issue with a botched uninstall of MySQL from months ago. This worked beautifully!
