@Leland Wallace answer is completely correct to "remove" macOS Server but here is how to completely remove everything related to macOS Server.

  1. Right click on the Server Application and click "Show Package Contents"

  2. Navigate to /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backenbackend

  4. Enter your admin password (or root password if setup)

  5. Alternately: in terminal: sudo ./Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh

  6. Then follow @Leland Wallace answer and remove the Server application
