If I run console on my mac and go to the system.log I see that system,log is getting flooded with this error

Oct 31 15:57:59 abhisheks-mbp com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (homebrew.mxcl.mysql[2185]): Service could not initialize: Unable to set current working directory. error = 2: No such file or directory, path = /usr/local/var/mysql: 17A405: xpcproxy + 11040 [1403][43FABD4F-8081-3087-91BC-95B588688D55]: 0x2

I had installed mysql using homebrew many months ago. but I had removed it I don't know why its still trying to run it.

I tried to remove mysql 

~ > brew uninstall mysql
Error: No such keg: /usr/local/Cellar/mysql

But still i see messages pouring in.

You probably enabled the MySQL launch agent with brew services start mysql in the past and forgot to disable the brew service (before uninstalling mysql) which would remove the plist.

So unload and remove the agent from the launchd database manually with:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist
launchctl remove ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

Then remove the file:

rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist

If you did a custom install of the plist, the file homebrew.mxcl.mysql.plist may reside in /Library/LaunchAgents. Use the same commands then but adjust the paths above and prepend sudo.

Got to Key Access App. It's a built in App through Finder or Launchpad, usually found in the compiled folder that says "Other." delete any keys or certificates that reference the error message output.

For example, if you see com.apple.xpc.mysql or com.homebrew.mxcl.mysql delete it.
