Uninstalling Replication Server results in the removal of the publication server, the subscription server, the EPRS Replication Console, the Replication Server Command Line Interface, the EPRS Replication Configuration file, the Replication Server Startup Configuration file, the publication server configuration file, and the subscription server configuration file.
Uninstalling Replication Server does not remove any databases used as primary nodes, publication databases, or subscription databases.

These control schema objects must then be deleted manually such as by using an SQL command line utility.
