Delete an old subscription from the subscriber?

The publisher has been disabled. But on the subscriber, I'm unable to delete
the subscription. It was a merge.
I tried to use sp_dropmergesubscription, but I've been unable to find a good
syntax example. And from which place do I run it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If this is SQL 2000 use the following script.

|||I ran the script in both places. didn't get rifd of the subscription. In the
meantime, I'm trying to re-establish merge replication, and now I get the
cant find sp_MSupdate_replication_status in the master table. Where is this
script located, so I can reinstall it?
Thanks for your help.

publisher.

|||sounds like it is messed up somehow. do the following
sp_replicationdboption 'problemdbname','publish','true'
GO
sp_replicationdboption 'problemdbname','merge publish','true'
GO
sp_replicationdboption 'problemdbname','publish','False'
GO
sp_replicationdboption 'problemdbname','merge publish','False'
GO
This should clear the condition.
