“The specified service has been marked for deletion” error

« **on:** May 01, 2015, 05:05:08 PM »

I removed one software from my Windows server but when I checked services, I found that during removal it had not removed service. I manually tried to remove the service using the following command:

sc delete <my_service_name>

But I got annoying error as follow:

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

Not sure what's wrong.
