slowday444 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'm cleaning some things out today, and when I attempt to remove some services via command line I get this: "The specified service does not exist as an installed service.", even though they are listed. How can I remove them from the list? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 If you want to delete never used services that are showing in "Services" you could try a batchfile using the "example" below. To be honest I wouldn't be deleting any services if I didn't have a decent backup such as Ghost. sc delete ALG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did as you instructed, everything (e.g. Description, Status, etc columns) was removed except the name of the service, however, after reboot gone. Thank you again.
