In Control Panel->Program and Features, find the entry saying "Microsoft SQL Server 2012". Select it and select Uninstall/Change and in the mini-menu that comes up select Remove. This starts the Setup Wizard, and here you can select which instance to work with.

Hi,
We get both SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2012 Express installed on the same Windows Server.
There is a request to get the SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition to be removed.
From Programs, we find that there are a number of SQL Server related programs and don't know which one should be removed (without affecting the Express Edition).
Is there any suggestion ?
Thanks
