How to remove (uninstall ) cluster sql server manually

You'll need to go into ClusterAdmin and remove the resources. Don't remove
the disk resource.

Also, check out www.clusterhelp.com for suitable training in clusters.

To be clear enough, In below Kb article it is mentioned as

If the instance of SQL Server you are removing was clustered, remove any
cluster resources for the instance that may remain in the Cluster
Administrator.

I am new to Clusters, what are all the resourcs do i need to delete?

No, just keep the group and the disk resource. Remove everything else
within the SQL group. You'll probably want to reboot afterwards (both
nodes).

If so, then you may very well have to rebuild the node.
