How to remove/uninstall one or multiple SQL Server instances

in this video, I am going to show you how to remove one or multiple SQL Server instances from your server

[@cynisherrr6638]

Thank you so much, this was literally the only thing that helped. I was stuck on this for 2 hours

[@divergentview2821]

Concise walk-through of the process. Very much appreciated.

[@simply-tom]

Excellent video! Just what I needed. One of my Instances would not connect for some reason and I want to remove it without having to uninstall everything including all my other Instances. Who would've thought you uninstall the exact same way as any other programs lol. I like how SQL Server allows you to uninstall each Instances.

When I restart to remove another instance it still says to restart because it failed…. What does that mean

When i tried this it stopped on GLobal Rules - on the item listed "restart computer" it had the error mark and said failed

Please help me, I follow the steps but I don't get the same "Remove SQL Server 2019" window. In fact, I don't get that Repair, Add, Remove splash window. All I get is a box asking if i'm sure i want to continue to remove, I press yes and it seems to remove but the servers are still showing under services.

[@lightspeedX2]

A bit late, but maybe it helps someone: Answer yes, and then you will get the dialog box containing the "Remove"

Any command to do the same task using powershell

good video

[@GLebZalt]

Possibly a bit of a dumb question, but interesting to get a conceptual answer. Can I remove the default instance MSSQLSERVER and stay with two secondary ones [each of them is responsible for a separate product]? Is there any reason to leave default instance in such case?

[@MathInfoDZ]

Of course, you can remove any instance. You can even remove all the instances if you want. It makes no difference if it's a default instance.

great, thanks.

Hi whe i was uninstall SQL sever 2012 i am getting an error like there was an error attempting to remove the configuration of the product which prevents any other action from occuring. The current configuration of the product is being cancelled as a result.
Any solution for this please help us to resolve the issue

[@MathInfoDZ]

Hi there. honestly i have never encountered this error but i did some research. it could be related to permissions of the user that is trying to uninstall. have a look at this link
learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/650987/error-during-uninstall-of-sql-server-2019.html
and this one
