We have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Active Passive Cluster. We have one Instance that was setup but never used.
We would like to change the name from MYSQLINSTANCE\MYINSTANCE to MYSQLINSTANCE
I have found a few articles that say you can rename the instance in the Cluster. Has anyone ever done this and\or can you point me to a good step by step article for performing this?

You currently have a named instance installed. You would need to deploy a new clustered default instance to replace the one you have running.

IS there a way to rename like this: MYSQLINSTANCE\MYINSTANCE to MYSQLINSTANCE\MYNEWINSTANCE without actually uninstalling and reinstalling?
