Re-installing Report Server

I had to uninstall Report Server and Report Designer on are
SQL server machine because of bandwidth concerns. Instead, Im installing
Report Server and Report Designer on a different member server. However the
Report databases remain after the uninstall on the SQL server machine. Is
this ok for these databases to remain? Will the new install try and create a
separate set of databases? I've already run RSkeymgmnt utility and saved the
key file. Is there a different procedure to follow in reinstalling on a
different server? By the way no work was done on the first installation, so
these databases really contain no important data.
MarkIf you don't need the databases, you can delete them. You only needed to
save the key file if you were planning to reuse the old database.
