Try running ps ax | grep mysql and see what that shows. You should get
lines like

28059 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld ...

where /usr/sbin/mysqld in this case is where the mysql daemon is
located, with /usr being the prefix. So far everything seems to assume
that /usr/local is the prefix, so perhaps that's your problem. You
will need to use that ps command above to work out the location of the
running process, then go through and delete all the mysql files.

You could also just delete the startup item which would stop it
running on startup (often in /Library/StartupItems from memory, I
could be wrong). You might also be able to stop it in server admin if
you're running osx server.
