I followed this answer not realizing that MySQL is already started in my computer. will that affect anything and how can I delete it?

Looks like the MySQL server is not started. Look to the official documentation of MySQL how you can start a service under windows.

Install the server as a service using this command: C:> "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --install

Decide which one you want to delete, then find its internal service name in the properties (it's the first thing shown at the top of the properties window), then execute sc delete xxxxx (as admin) with its internal name to delete it. (If it's running, stop it first before you delete it.)

See this tutorial: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/how-to-delete-a-windows-service-in-vista-or-xp/
