Removing an Application from an Instance
After you deploy an instance of SQL Server Notification Services, you might need to remove an application from the instance.
When you remove an application from an instance, Notification Services simply disassociates the application from the instance. Notification Services does not delete the application database, database schema, or application objects. If you need to copy subscription data for the application, you can do so after removing the application from the instance.
Note
You cannot re-associate the application with the instance of Notification Services. When you add an application to an instance, Notification Services recreates the application. If the application objects already exist, the update to add the application fails.
After you update the instance, you can delete the database or database schema that contains the application objects. You must delete all objects from a schema before you can delete a schema.
