How to manually delete a Windows Service

There are several reasons why you might need to manually delete a Windows service:

1. The service is no longer needed: If you have installed a service in the past, but you no longer need it, you can manually delete it to free up system resources.
2. The service is causing problems: Sometimes, a service can cause problems on your computer, such as slowing down your system or causing crashes. Deleting the service may be necessary to resolve the issue in such cases.
3. The service is malware: If your computer is infected with malware that installs a malicious service, you may need to manually delete the service to remove the malware from your system.
4. The service is a leftover from an uninstalled program: When you uninstall a program, sometimes the associated service is not automatically removed. In such cases, you may need to manually delete the service to remove the program from your system completely.

To manually delete a Windows service, follow these steps:

• Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.

• Type the following command to stop the service:

net stop <service name>

• Replace <service name> with the name of the service you want to delete.

• Type the following command to delete the service:

sc delete <service name>

• Again, replace <service name> it with the name of the service you want to delete.

• Press Enter to execute the command.

• If the service is running, you may need to reboot your computer before deleting it.

Note: Be careful when deleting services, as this can have unintended consequences on your system. Make sure you are certain you want to delete a service before proceeding
