Question : Delete Reporting Services Instances
When installing Reporting Services, I get the error message below. This is after uninstalling the entire SQL server in order to correct a problem. How do I delete this instance? I want to make it as if SQL Server 2005 was never on this machine so I can do a fresh install.
