Previous DBA didn't uninstalled the Server properly .Still we are able to see the instance under the service .I need to remove the registry for this instance .Is there any specific order do i need to follow while deleting these ?All i have to do is delete the registrys under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Microsoft SQL Server\abcDEV(InstanceName) from both nodes?
