Windows Services Issue

[Chris Minckler]

Is there any way for my to delete a Window Service file directly through the Windows Service application, or by running a command? This has become a serious issue since I can't run an application because this Windows Service file exists. However, the problem is that I can't delete the service through Regedit, because guess what? It doesn't exist in the registry files. So first of all I'm wondering, how the hell is this service even showing up if it's not even in the registry files? And also, is there any way for me to delete it now even though it isn't in the registry files, yet somehow still exists?

 

Thanks for your time, any help is appreciated!

 

Also, I found many people having the same issue who were able to fix it, but then when I tried to do the same thing as them, I noticed that all of their problems occurred 5-7 YEARS ago. Yeah, not helpful. Anyway, thanks again for the help!

Have you run the uninstaller with administrative powers?

sc [<ServerName>] delete [<ServiceName>]

 

Run that in an elevated cmd prompt

It is in the registry. Everything in Windows is linked to the registry. You portably uninstalled the program/driver with the service and it didn't remove everything (the developers didn't test their uninstaller properly).

But doing what Blake suggest, should fix it.
