To completely uninstall SQL Server, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Control Panel and select “Programs and Features”.
  2. Locate the SQL Server instance in the Programs and Features list, right-click on it, and select “Uninstall”.
  3. In the uninstallation wizard, select the components you want to uninstall, and then click “Next”.
  4. Confirm the components to uninstall and any other options, then click “Uninstall”.
  5. Please wait for the uninstallation process to complete.
  6. Repeat the above steps until all SQL Server instances and components have been uninstalled.

Please be aware that this is only the process of uninstalling the SQL Server instance and components. If you want to completely remove SQL Server-related files and registry entries, you may need to manually delete leftover files and registry entries. If you are unsure how to do this, please backup your computer data first and seek assistance from a professional.
