It's you. The installation script tells you the directory contents will be
blown away. You didn't pay attention. Make a directory for mythburn, rerun
the installation script, give it the new location, and you'll be fine in the
future.

As far as getting rid of the former programs, you can do this:

$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg
mysql> delete from recorded;
mysql> quit
