Same way, remove it from control panel -> add/remove programs. Ask you windows admin for help if you don't know how.

Look I am completely and uttlerly confused with this.
I downloaded the VS 2008 trial on my PC and i am the only user.

I want to learn sql server and it says i have sql 2005 installed.
I only have 2 config option and i dont think it is installed properly.

what do i do and how can i test if it is working.
I cant see where you create a database

Did you see sql service in control panel? If it's running, you have sql installed. Then just download ssmse from Microsoft and you are good to manage it.
