Hi Mr. Boker, Thank you for your bug report. However, this is not MySQL bug. This is how macOS function. That dot represents the location where MySQL binaries have been installed, which in your case is /usr/local. Hence, you instructed macOS to remove that directory (with all of its contents) too. We can not help you with that. Not a bug.

Thank you for your response. Are you saying apple manages the MySQL preferences pane and they are the ones who wrote the uninstall script?

Hi, In short term, our uninstaller calls API for that function that manages the whole process. That API is written by Apple, so write to them.
