I recently cloned a VM Windows 2008r2 server which contained and instance of SQL Server and several production database. I realized the problem when I booted up the cloned server an the sql server was up and running. I have since shut it down as well as
all the services related. can I remove the SQL server with the ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS and then delete the databases manually deleting the directories? Or is there a correct way to do this?
