SQL Server Express Edition is installed using "SQLExpress" name and as a
Named Instance.

So, as you had already uninstalled your SQL Server 2005 Express Edition,
your current SQLExpress intance must be your SQL Server 2008 Express Edition
instance.

Why don't you simply connect to it and use the following commands to verify
its version:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion')

OR

Go to SQL Server Configuration Manager and go to properties of your
SQLExpress service (from the "SQL Server services" node) and go to Advanced
tab. There, you'll find "Version" information. If it's 10.x then it's SQL
Server 2008.
