Below is how you can delete a service after you have disabled it of course. (Please note that I don’t think that you can get a service back once you actually deleted it)

First you need to go into the properties of the service that you will be deleting (I will be working with/deleting the Remote Registry service) and look for the service name (underlined in red below) which is under the first tab (general) because you need that name, remember it or write it down. Now exit the properties of the service that you will be deleting other wise you will get an error after the service has been deleted if you still have the properties open.

Now you need to go to start/run and enter cmd into the run dialogue box and press enter and the command prompt will come up as in the picture below, type in sc delete remoteregistry (or the service name of the service/s you wish to delete ) and press enter and it will say [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS as in the picture below.

Now type exit and press enter and the command prompt will close. Now go back to the service’s list and press F5 and it will refresh and the service that you deleted will now no longer be there.

That is all on services for now. I hope you understood it all.
