    How do you uninstall the CRM 3.0 MSDE instance (database) from the laptop? I went in into Add and remove programs and uninstalled the CRM laptop client. I also went to uninstall the MSDE that was installed when i installed CRM 3.0 Laptop Client. I went into Add and Remove programs and selected SQL Server 2005 and clicked on change. Then under Remove SQL Server 2005 instance components I select the CRM:Database Engine and click next. When it's finished I look in the Microsoft SQL Server folder MSQL1, MSQL, Data and the databases are still there. What are the steps to completely remove CRM Laptop Client and the CRM Databases?

    Hi,
    Once removing the SQL services etc, you can just delete the databases as regular files.

    Hello Dan,
    Thanks for replying. Wish it was that easy. What if they are running other programs that need the SQL services? I just want to make sure I remove only the CRM MSDE instance and not interfere with the other programs that still need SQL.

    Hi Yeshua,
    We don't have any clients set up like that so I cant test it for you, but if memory serves me correctly you can drop down to a command line (osql.exe if think, is the msde command utility) and drop the databases using tsql (check out the MSDE online help DROP DATABASE would be a good start). If the files still remain you can delete them now.
    Cheers
