How to remove url reservation in SSRS

During a recovery process I have uninstalled and re-installed Sql Server 2008 R2 a couple of times with different instance names. I have recovered the database and want to configure the report server the way it was before. My problem occurs in Reporting Services Configuration Manager when I try to apply defaults for the web service url. I get this error:

Reserving url http: //+:80 The Url has already been reserved.

How do I un-reserve the url so that it can be applied to the new installation?

Try removing URL from rsreportserver.config file located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer.

Make sure your current binding isn't from IIS or another webserver process, as deleting it could cause... badness

Ensure your old SSRS instance is completely uninstalled (as the uninstallation process should free these bindings). Next, fire up a command prompt window in admin mode (must be in admin to delete), and do:

Check your existing reserved URLS:

netsh http show urlacl

Delete the URLs you don't want, using the exact same values shown on the "Reserved URL" line from the "show" command:

netsh http delete urlacl URL=http://+:80

You might consider binding your next install to a more specific URL, as the current wildcard binding will take all web (port 80) traffic coming to the server.
