Problem in installing SQL Express getting error message that already instance id is in use

Hi All,

I am new to SQL Server.

I have installed VS2012 trial version. Due to some other reasons i have uninstalled VS2012 and installed again. 

I tried to create a database from Server Eplorer in VS but there is no server instance is available. While installing i have chosen to install SQL Server.

But, it is not showing in drop menu while creating database.

I checked serivices, SQL and Agent services are not running giving error message 1067 and 1068 when i try to start them.

I have downloaded SQL Express edition and tried to install newly. but, getting error message that Instance ID is already in use. 

Even i have tried to installed adding to existing instance of SQLEXPRESS. still not working.

I fed up with trying all options. I physically deleted all the folders from Program Files and tried to install new SQLEXPRESS.

but, still getting the same error message "Instance id in use". 

When i run Discovery Report. it showing two instance ids as shown below.

ProductInstanceInstance IDFeatureLanguageEditionVersionClustered
Sql Server 2008SQLEXPRESSMSSQL10.SQLEXPRESSDatabase Engine Services1033Express Edition10.1.2531.0No
Sql Server 2008SQLEXPRESSMSSQL10.SQLEXPRESSSQL Server Replication1033Express Edition10.1.2531.0No

Can someone guide me that how i can completely delete all the information to SQL Server and install freshly?

Thanks,

Ramana
