I know there are many questions regarding mysql not starting. I've tried following things

Checking MySQL error log Ã¢Â€Â” error reading '/var/log/mysql': Is a directory

Check /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log file for broken packages again no such file or directory

Remove MySQL-server and reinstall it But it's not getting uninstalled at all

this problem occurred when I uninstalled "plasma-desktop". I used following commands to remove "plasma-desktop" and related packages.

sudo apt-get purge '^kde' '^kubuntu' '^plasma'

sudo apt-get remove plasma-desktop

sudo apt-get autoremove

There was no error produced by the above three commands.
