Were you perhaps a Windows user in a past life?  :)

I'd do something like:

dpkg -l | grep myth

...to get a list of mythtv packages and plugins and then I'd...

sudo apt-get remove packagename --purge
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

I'm sure something similar would work for Mysql.

Are you worried about leftover settings in Gnome or something?
