Uninstall SQL 2008r2 question

[edutech4schools]

A few months ago I installed sql 2012 and migrated all databases over I also stopped the old sql2008r2 services from running.

 

I would now like to uninstall the old sql 2008r2 software and have clicked on uninstall 2008r2 (64bit) to start the uninstall.

 

I have reached a page that is unclear to me what it's implications might be, in the select features to remove I have a few tick boxes under 'Shared Features' these are,

 

Client tools connectivity

Client tools backwards compatibility

Management tools - basic

Management tools - complete

SQL client connectivity SDK

 

the uninstall will not let me proceed without selecting one or more of the items but I am worried as these are shared items which seems to imply they might be shared with our new SQL2012 install.

 

Am I OK to select and uninstall all the items or would that cause an issue.

 

BTW the databases hold Sims and FMS

 

Thanks
