the resource is offline), the uninstall will not be able to remove the resource files. You must delete any
resources prior to removing Storage Mirroring.

the installation. You will need to manually remove them.
Any files created by the Microsoft Windows Installer during the Storage Mirroring installation can be safely
deleted after an uninstall.
