The "mysql" db that you see is a database used by MySQL itself for various functions, including user and database control. Do not delete this db as it is very important to MySQL's function. If you have PHP installed, I suggest you use phpMyAdmin ( www.phpmyadmin.net) to do MySQL administration. If you edit the tables/data directly, you might mistakingly screw up MySQL.
