Uninstall can take 15-30 minutes to complete normally. 

     3\. Verify removing VConnect RP in Azure Stack Portals

* In **Admin Portal** -> **Resource Groups,** the resource group named **system. \[location].cloudassert.vconnect** should not exist.
* In **Tenant Portal** -> **Resource Groups,** the resource group named **system.\[location].cloudassert.vconnect.rp** should not exist.      

     4\. Go to **Admin portal** -> **Offers**, clean up any Offers that VConnect RP was tied to and are no longer used

     5\. Go to **Admin portal** -> **Plans**, clean up any plans that VConnect RP was tied to and are no longer used

### SQL Server 

If the SQL Server was created only for VConnect RP exclusively and is no longer needed:

1. Follow steps in [Create SQL Server VM and necessary databases in a tenant subscription](https://docs.cloudassert.com/azure-stack-hub-multi-stamp-management/installation/prerequisites/create-sql-server-vm-in-tenant-subscription) including the parameter named  -**Uninstall $true**
2. Once deployment successfully completes, Go to **Resources** -> verify SQL Server VM is not present

If the SQL Server is being used for other purposes and need to be retained:

Remove the below called out 3 databases CloudAssert.VConnect, CloudAssert.Billing, CloudAssert.DACM that was used by VConnect RP.
