Here is the steps for uninstall/remove SQL SERVER 2000.
1. Insert the Microsoft SQL Server compact disc in your CD-ROM drive. If the compact disc does not autorun, double-click Autorun.exe in the root directory of the compact disc.
2. Select SQL Server 2000 Components, select Install Database Server, and click Next when Welcome screen appears.
3. In Computer Name dialog box, select Local Computer or Remote computer.
4. Click on Upgrade, Remove, or Add Components to an existing instance of SQL Server, and then click Next.
5. If you want to uninstall a named instance, select it from the Instance Name list box, and then click Next or if Default is selected if you have the Default instance installed.
6. Click Uninstall your existing installation, and click Next.
7. Now setup will removes the selected installation. In the Uninstalling dialog box, click Next, and then click on Finish.

Re: How to remove SQL Server
There is one more way of doing is by following the below steps:-
1. Remove everything from the SQL directory.
2. Remove the SQL directory from the path.
3. Remove the SQL registry entries using regedt32/regedit.
  
  Following are the paths in regedt32/regedit
  - (All versions)
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSSQLServer
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
  - (6.0 and above.)
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSDTC
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLExecutive
  - (7.0 and above)
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLServerAgent
    
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server 7
