You should use the official FileMaker Server Uninstaller to completely remove the previous version of FMS before installing a new one if you're not moving to new hardware at the same time.

The uninstaller is located at 'Macintosh HD > Library > FileMaker Server'

For directions on how to uninstall FileMaker Pro and Pro Advanced, see the official instructions.

If you can't get into the FM server's console for some reason you can launch Terminal, there are several helpful commands to know:

fmsadmin help commands
fmsadmin stop
fmsadmin restart
fmsadmin resetpw
