How to remove (uninstall ) cluster sql server manually

HI All,
As HIten said,(in my previous post) I am able to remove all the registry
entries except hklm\software\microsoft\mssqlserver after couple of reboots of
the both the nodes.
I am still getting Getting "Cannot delet MSsqlserver: Error while deleting
key" error.
I did not delete any resources in cluadmin. Do i need to delete
sqlserver,agent, search resources only or disk resources also need to get
deleted?
Thanks in advance
Suchi
To be clear enough, In below Kb article it is mentioned as
If the instance of SQL Server you are removing was clustered, remove any
cluster resources for the instance that may remain in the Cluster
Administrator.
I am new to Clusters, what are all the resourcs do i need to delete?

the disk resource.
Also, check out www.clusterhelp.com for suitable training in clusters.

within the SQL group. You'll probably want to reboot afterwards (both
nodes).

If so, then you may very well have to rebuild the node.
