Actually, whilst I am not an expert in WSS, I do know that it stores
configuration information about the various WSS sites on a server within
another SQL database. I've had a look inside that and can see references to
various tables etc, but I don't know what to remove to totally remove the
old WSS site from this particular servers configuration.

Regards,
Wayne
