For a "basic uninstall" just MySQL no GUI/ODBC etc,

Click START button, click RUN type APPWIZ.CPL and hit OK.

Find MySQL Server 5.X and remove it.

Not sure what version of Windows you are running. If its the XP style, then go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove programs. If it's the new style (Vista/Win7), then it would be something like Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Programs and Features portion and just run the uninstall of MySQL.
