Uninstall of default database after migration

Hello,

I recently installed SolarWinds Orion in my environment. The design plan was to have the majority of components such as NPM installed on one server with its database on a separate server. Then to have the NTA database installed on a third server. Everything seems to have installed correctly but during the install of NPM, it installed a SQL instance.

Since NPM and NTA have their own dedicated DB servers, I would like to remove the SQL instance which was installed on the NPM server to reduce the amount of DBs floating around. Is it possible to remove the database or does SolarWinds still require it to be there even if other DBs are being utilized?

Thanks!
