The specified service has been marked for deletion

Hi,

I removed one program from my Windows server but I found that service was still listed under "Services". I manually try to delete service using the following command from command prompt:

sc delete myswervicename

But it failed to delete the service with following error:

[SC] DeleteService FAILED 1072:
The specified service has been marked for deletion.


Can someone please help me to fix this?

Thanks,

This can happen if MMC is in use or running. There are few Windows processes which require MMC. Some of them are task manager, Event view, Services console, Process Explorer etc.

You can refer our article on "The specified service has been marked for deletion error" to troubleshoot this problem.
