Hi,
I have SQL Server 2016 installed in my machine but I can't uninstall it, it doesn't appear on my Control Panel, I looked again using CMD wmic, product get name, it also doesn't appear. But I can see it, SQL Server on the services and SQL Server Configuration Management. I also tried using CMD "softwarename".exe /uninstall.
All other SQL components are there, like SQL Server 2016 Client Tools, DMF etc. I also tried uninstalling all of these components and it doesn't help.
How can I uninstall SQL Server on my machine?

Have you tried using the installation media to do the uninstall?

Has it been installed by some other application, maybe? You can package it as a pre-requisite. If so, I expect you'd need to either uninstall or modify the other application.

This has been always a problem..
Unless you absolutely need to uninstall it, you can just install a new named instance, and forget about the not (fully) uninstalled the previous one..
