Deleting a Windows Service

Had a service that I could not get rid of and found that you can use SC.EXE (resource kit tool) to remove the service from the Services control panel. The EXE was removed from the file system, but it was still being referenced.

Run this below to delete the service, where service name is not the service display name, see service name in properties of the specific service.

sc.exe delete
