Check what package of mysql you got

[root at mimic ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i mysql
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9003-5
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-9
MySQL-server-4.1.11-0
MySQL-python-0.9.2-4
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.10a-0
MySQL-client-4.1.11-0
mod_auth_mysql-20030510-5
php-mysql-4.3.11-2.5

then to uninstall MySQL-client issue this

[root at mimic ~]# yum remove MySQL-client
