    I just created a new Windows 2008 R2 server and installed SQL Server 2008 on it.   I need to uninstall it and prefer to do it thru Programs and Features.   There are a lot of components installed.  Any order to remove them?

    To manually uninstall SQL Server 2008, follow these steps:
    1. At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
      CD %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Release
    2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
      setup.exe /ACTION=uninstall /FEATURES=<var>Feature_List</var> /INSTANCENAME=<var>Instance_Name</var>
      Note In this command, the <var>Feature_List</var> placeholder represents a no-space, comma-separated list of feature values, such as "AS,SQL,RS,Tools." The <var>Instance_Name</var> placeholder represents the named instance of the SQL Server 2008 that was installed. If you did not use a named instance, you can use "MSSQLSERVER" for the named instance
