How to remove a previous Installed instance

I uninstall the complete SQL Server 2005, and then when I reinstall it,
Reporting Services don't want to install because a previous installed
instance is detected.Hi Robert,
Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
From your description, you've uninstalled the existing SQL Server 2005 on
your server. However, when you try reinstalling it later, you get
error(during Reporting Service installation) indicate that there is a
previous installed instance, correct?
Based on my experience, when installing the SQL Server, setup program will
try detecting existing SQL Server instances through the windows registry.
So you can have a look in the registry to see whether the Reporting Service
entry is still there. For SQL 2005, it uses the MSSQL.X like naming
convention, e.g
on my test server, the SQL 2005 Reporting Service is associated with the
below key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.4
In addition, before we performing registry editing, I suggest you still
have a look at the following SQL Server setup document and try the
commandline uninstallation (for specific named instance...) to see whether
it can help clearly remove the Reporting service instance.
