On the Servers in Farm page, locate the row that contains the name of the server that you want to remove, and then click Remove Server. In the warning that appears, click OK to remove the server or click Cancel to stop the operation. The page updates, and the server that you removed no longer appears in the list of servers.
You can remove a server from the farm by uninstalling SharePoint Server 2016 from the server through Control Panel. When you uninstall SharePoint Servers 2016 or 2019 by using Control Panel, you disconnect the server from the farm, and then remove the program files and other information from the server.

No! There could be several artifacts left in the server such as Server Roles, IIS directories, Logs, Registry keys, etc. So, I would recommend doing a fresh install of OS and SharePoint for a clean server rebuild.
On the server that you want to remove from the farm, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Programs and Features. In the list of currently installed programs, click SharePoint Server 2010, and then click Uninstall.

If you remove a server that hosts a crawl component, no index files are lost. However, you might reduce or remove the capacity to crawl content. You can lose index files in the following situations:
When the policies are disabled you can force a gppdate (commandline) so you can alter your Windows Update setting for the server. All clients will also be able to set their Windows Updates as they whish. I don’t like WSUS for very small companies.
