| We have a windows 2008 server with two sql 2008 instances on it, the default instance and a named instance. We want to remove the named instance. Windows 2008 doesn't have 'add or remove programs'. It has 'programs and features'. You can uninstall here, but it doesn't specify the named instance like it would have with previous sql versions on windows 2003. I don't want to uninstall everything, just the named instance and leave the default instance intact. What's the best way to do this? |

| I have uninstalled the named instance. During the uninstall wizard it lists the installed instances on the server for you to select the one you want to uninstall. |
