Delete a Service on Windows


Normally uninstalling the application would also remove the service, but sometimes you have to
do it manually. This procedure may be applied to Windows NT 4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

1. Stop the service you want to remove

2. Run regedit or regedt32

3. Find the registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services

4. Find the service name there and delete it. You may also have a look at the keys and see
what files the service was using and remove those files as well.

5. Reboot computer
