ccleaner can't remove a service whether enabled/disabled.

I had Acronis image software which I removed. I disabled the scheduler2 service so it wont startup.

However, the current ccleaner free version doesn't allow me to remove the service or any other service even when advanced mode is checked.

If this is in the registry or somewhere on the disk drive, give ccleaner the ability to remove it from the service list.

I can remove acronis startup entries without problem.

CCleaner is not a service remover.

You need to state what version etc of Acronis you are talking about.

Really you should use the Acronis cleanup utility. It may be the first one in the list on this page

Thanks. Their offline uninstallers cleaner tools vs. the one that comes with the product fixed everything vs. me having to spend all day doing it by hand along with deleting everything in the registry.

I came across the "sc" command I had forgotten about and it might have worked, but by then I had already run the uninstaller tools based on your weblink.

Perhaps ccleaner can add the "sc" command as a right_click in the tools services area like one can do for the startup entries since one may have forgotten about it or don't know about. I.e. sc <the service name> delete

I am not keen at all on giving CCleaner the ability to delete a service.
