P.S

to delete the package i use this command fisrt:

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common -y
$ sudo apt-get autoremove -y
$ sudo apt-get autoclean

and i search all fils by

sudo dpkg -l | grep -i mysql

to delete it completly

and i reintall it

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client
sudo apt-get install mysql-server


sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
sudo apt-get autoremove

i use this site web to help at this [How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

Solution

If somehow mysql stopped and another service used the port that mysql was using, then it gives this error.

Possible solutions:

1) I assume mysql port number is 3306

netstat -nlp | grep 3306
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:3306          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1206/not_mysqld
kill -9 1206

if the result is not mysqld, solution found. Kill the port and run mysql again.

2) Restart machine. Because if you did not realize what happened when you encountered this error, it probably means that you did not make any permanent changes and when you turn on the computer again, the old port will most likely start working.
