SOS - how to uninstall DB2 Express 8.1. on Windows Server 2000

I need to uninstall DB2 Express on a W2K Server as the
evaluation period has expired to reclaim a fair chunk of
disk space.
The program was not in the list of the Windows
Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel,
(but is for Windows XP) nor was there an Uninstall
program as part of DB2 menu tree.

So, I decided to try uninstall it manually by deleting
folders and files and registry entries.

It didn't work. Most of the files and folders could not be
deleted. Got messages like ' so-and-so' is in use/shared'.

Can anyone suggest how I can get it off the W2K Server? OR
point me to a more appropriate forum OR
how to get free assistance from IBM (as they should have
provided an uninstaller in the first place).

Best regards
Ken Resander

Normally the uninstaller is provided but something must have gone wrong
during installation.
