but get this error when trying to install the MySQL server, how do I delete the old service so I can continue with the tutorial?

Well apparently you have mysql already installed in your machine.

Thats why you cannot install mysql (Again)

It means you can not install it "over' an existing install (with the same name). Try naming it "MySQL5", or something diifferent that you can remember. Or rename you existing install folder "OldMSQL" and try again.
