Hi,
  I have recently uninstalled the business central version. but the server instance is not removed from the Administration. 
 
 When i try to remove it manually, i got the below error.
 
Unable to locate the ServerInstance=MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$NameAssembly=C://Program Files//Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central//220//Service//Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Server.exe
 
Is there any other way to remove the instance from the Administration. Because i want to use the name of the instance for another version
 
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Tamilarasu Arunachalam

    When you uninstall business central, it removes the Instance that was created as Default.
    But if you have created another instance, then you need to remove it using the CMD prompt as suggested by @black_s
