Deleting Windows Services

In the process of installing MySQL I ran into a few errors leaving me with an added service that didn’t work. So now had to remove it:

In a command prompt (Start > Run > type "cmd", enter), type the following:

sc delete serviceName

Notes:

• Ensure you use the Service Name, not the Display Name, i.e. in the
  
  

Ensure the service is stopped

• Go to Service listing. This can be done in the following ways:

• Start > Run > type "services.msc", enter
  
  or
• Right click "My Computer" (XP) or "Computer" (Vista onwards)
  
  > Manage > Services and Applications (in left pane) > Services

Find the service and stop it

This was done on Windows 7 RC, thus item names may differ in XP / Vista
