Delete a Service
Normally it should not be necessary to manually delete a service. Uninstalling an application should remove its associated service (if any).
However, should it be necessary to manually remove a service:
1.
Run Regedit or regedt32.
2.
Find the registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services
3. Find the service there and delete it.
You may wish to look at the keys and see what files the service was using and perhaps delete them also.
Note: You will have to reboot before the list gets updated in server manager.
These notes have been tested with Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows X
