It's empty.

but i found this when i reinstall xampp
17:51:34 [mysql] MySQL Service detected with wrong path
17:51:34 [mysql] Change XAMPP MySQL and Control Panel settings or
17:51:34 [mysql] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
17:51:34 [mysql] Found Path: C:\AppServ\MySQL\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:\AppServ\MySQL\my.ini mysql
17:51:34 [mysql] Expected Path: c:\xampp1\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp1\mysql\bin\my.ini mysq


So what is this?

You have already installed a foreign MySQL server which uses the same service name (and commonly port) as the MySQL shipped with XAMPP.

So i deleted all the other sql stuff but it still wont start

Did you unregister the foreign Windows services too?
Current fresh output of your control panel log window?

How?

Look to see if mysql is installed as a service. Make sure it is not installed as one and if it is then you need to bring back your deleted files or download new ones to run the uninstall script of mysql.
If you have tried running your xampp since deleting these files and still getting the same issue, repost the mysql error logs to allow us to help.

Thnx mate, I had to bring back the deleted files. So i did, and it did work. There was an Mysql serives still installed.
