Rather than Delete a Service, it’s preferable to Disable a Service instead, in case it’s needed again in the future. However, at times you need to delete, such as for an obsolete Service, or for a Service that you’ll reinstall.

To Disable a Service

1. At the Windows machine, open Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services
2. Right-click the specific Service
3. Select Properties
4. Access the General tab
5. Set the Startup Type to Disabled
6. Click OK

Delete a Service

 CAUTION: Delete a Service only if you won't use it or don't need it.

   • At the Windows server, open Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.
   • Right-click the specific Service.

2. At the Windows server, open an Administrator command prompt.
   • Open Start.
   • Type the following command in the Search programs and files box: CMD.
   • Press the Ctrl, Shift, and Enter keys at the same time.
