according to directadmin staff its virtually not possible however since it build all all software from source and put each software in its individual folder you can try remove them.
1- this command will remove all directadmin files including license,templates,user data, apache vrtual hosts.
rm -rf /usr/local/directadmin

2- to remove mysql completely from system do this commands

rpm -qa "MySQL*"

this will show you something like this

MySQL-devel-5.1.61-1.glibc23
MySQL-shared-5.1.61-1.glibc23
MySQL-client-5.1.61-1.glibc23
MySQL-server-5.1.61-1.glibc23

you will need to remove all those with this command :
rpm -e MySQL-devel-5.1.61-1.glibc23 MySQL-shared-5.1.61-1.glibc23 MySQL-client-5.1.61-1.glibc23 MySQL-server-5.1.61-1.glibc23

please be aware versions may vary between my current example and your VPS.

then you will need to remove mysql directory where it save mysql databases, mysql logins, etc... with this command :

rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

and then remove init script
rm -rf /etc/init.d/mysqld

3- you will need to remove apache configuration and files with this command :
rm -rf /etc/httpd

4- also you will need to remove php directory with this command according to your current php version :
rm -rf /usr/local/php5

or

rm -rf /usr/local/php4

this should make your system clean to install cpanel, kloxo, or other thing you will like.
