Graywalker Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 A naughty program uninstall leaves behind a couple services. I've got a script to use psservice.exe to stop the service and disable it. I can delete the program folder. Yet, it still shows up as a service (even though its disabled). How do I purge this leftover from the system so I never have to see it again? Will deleting it from the Registry - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\leftoverservice] - get rid of it or is there more I need to do? ( I am trying to purge systems of CA Unicenter, versions 4 and 11 if anyone is interested in the whole process ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
