I uninstalled all the modules of ss2k5 via the Control Panel 'Add Remove
Programs' .

The modules are no longer listed in the AddRemove Programs list ... however
they are still listed in the 'All Programs' window .... and I can open
Management Studio and access SS2k5.

How do I uninstall SS2k5??

Hi,
My understanding of your issue is that:
You encountered an issue that you have uninstalled your SQL Server 2005
from Add Remove Programs, however you found that it still existed in your
Start menu and you could still access it. You want to know how to fully
uninstall the SQL Server 2005.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

By default, SQL Server 2005 can be removed via Add Remove Programs. For
this issue, I recommend that you check again if all the SQL Server 2005
components are removed from the "Change or Remove Programs" list;
Then you can try to uninstall SQL Server 2005 by this article:

If this issue persists, please stop SQL Server service; use "installutil /u
sqlserv.exe" to uninstall the SQL Server service; then delete the SQL
Server 2005 directory. If the folder can't be deleted, you can swith your
Windows to safe mode and delete the folder again.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me
know. It's my pleasure to be of assistance.
