Steps i followed to remove sql manually
1.Uninstall all SQL components possible in Add/Remove Programs (including the SQL client and VSS writer)
2.Stop all SQL Services and configure them to disabled using Start > SQL Configuration Manager
3.Delete the following registry to get rid of the services. If you have multiple instance installed, it will be Keyname$Instance (i.e. MSSQLServer$OFFICESERVERS)
1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer
2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLServerAgent
3.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServerADHelper
4.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ReportServer
5.Verify that the services do not exist in the SQL Configuration Manager.
4.Delete the SQL Configuration in the registry
1.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
3.Note - if you installed a 32 bit version of SQL on 64 bit version of Windows, you will need to also delete them from the 32 bit registry node that is redirected. More Info MS 896459.
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
5.Delete the SQL Program files - Note this will also delete the existing databases on the system that must be restored from backup.
1.Delete the directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
Note - if you installed a 32 bit version of SQL on 64 bit version of Windows, you will need to also delete them from the 32 bit program files:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server
2.You might need to reboot to close all files before you can delete the directory.
