Removing a Windows Service from the Command Line

This post is more a self-reminder as I find myself having to manually remove multiple ColdFusion instances setup as Windows Services while I troubleshoot an installation issue. Simply uninstalling ColdFusion often leaves behind orphaned services which must then be manually removed, and I'm always forgetting the command to do so. For future reference:


sc delete "windows service name"

Ben Nadel's Gravatar Awesome! This just made my life easier. I uninstalled JRUN version of CF8 that was also running CF9. Was left with rouge CF9 search / ODBC services. This did the trick.
