Today I needed to manually remove a service from windows. I found this command line approach, which worked great for me. Be sure to use the service name and not the display name:
You can find the service name by going to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, right click the service and choose properties, the service name is shown there.

Undeniable proof that the internet is held together by duct tape and chewing gum. No wonder wireless carriers need a 6500% markup on text messaging. Quoted from chess.com:
A few years ago I pulled a late-night session trying to debug a server at PacBell. The code looked fine, but every night the server would reboot and it was my job to figure out why. As I’m sitting there, testing the server at 1AM, in walks the janitor, UNPLUGS THE SERVER to plug in the vacuum, vacuums the room, then plugs the server back in. Case closed, I went home.
