Completely removing mysql

I'm trying to totally remove mysql from my fedora 18 box.

[root@h-s-h000729 var]# rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-libs-5.5.30-1.fc18.x86_64

[root@h-s-h000729 var]# rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL-4.022-1.fc18.x86_64 <- required by next
[root@h-s-h000729 var]# rpm -e mysql-libs-5.5.30-1.fc18.x86_64

[root@h-s-h000729 var]# systemctl status mydsld.service
mydsld.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

But

[root@h-s-h000729 var]# ls /var/lib/mysql/
ibdata1 ib_logfile0 ib_logfile1 mysql performance_schema test testdb

Before I take the rm -fr to these is there a better way to do it?

Cheers Paul
