Deleting a Data Source

To delete a data source, you can use the Data Sources dialog box.

    To use the Data Sources dialog box

1. Select the data source you want to delete from the Data Sources list.
2. Choose the Delete button, and then choose the Yes button to confirm the deletion.

You may be asked if you want to remove the data source name and its associated information from the WIN.INI file or Registry. Other applications that call SQL Server may use this information to connect to SQL Server data sources.

Choose the Yes button if you are certain that no other applications use the information about the data source; otherwise, choose the No button.
