    Hi Pradeep,

    As i had already mentioned there is also a another instance which is now in production.

    Is the suggested method is the safer one?

    If yes then what are the things I have to take care while removing the second database instance.

    Make sure you do not uninstall the client tools. Also make sure you specify the correct instance name to uninstall. Then you will be fine.

    After uninstalling, go to your Windows Explorer and delete all folders (installation, data files) of the uninstalled instance.

    I would suggest that you reboot your machine, once all this is done.
