I am very new to php, xampp.
I was using xampp for php interacting with phpmyadmin.
I was working pretty well until xampp mysql stoped working.
For some reason, I could not start mysql, although I was able to start apache.
so, i decided to uninstall xampp and reintall it. however, when i was reinstalling it and choose the blank folder for some process, it said the folder i chose is not empty. so i deleted the phpmyadmin folder inside xampp folder.
Then now it is telling me that alloc: invalid block.
I looked up on the internet, but I cannot find the solution.
If someone knows what is going on my laptop, please let me know the solution
and I am very new to this field, please please explain in as the easiest way as possible.

May be your old installed xampp is not uninstalled properly. Follow this steps :-
1) Delete 'xampp' folder in 'C:/',
2) Delete 'MySQL' folder in 'C:/Program Files' if there,
3) Delete 'Apache Software Foundation' folder in 'C:/Program Files' if there.
4) Restart your PC/Laptop,
5) Install xampp again.
If you want to prevent your folder data then copy them into a temporary folder. After installation cut them and copy to their relevant locations.
