You can also use the command line tool "sc" to delete a service (as well as a whole bunch of other things, like set it to manual/auto, stop/start it, etc).
C:>sc deleteDESCRIPTION: Deletes a service entry from the registry. If the service is running, or another process has an open handle to the service, the service is simply marked for deletion.USAGE: sc delete [service name]
