Permanently Delete MySQL Service after uninstall

After uninstalling MySQL from my computer, I found that the service still remained.

Later on, I found that we can manually remove it.

To do it, follow these simple steps.

  1. Navigate to Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories ->Command Prompt. Right click on Command Prompt and select ‘Run as administrator’.

    Right click Command Prompt and click 'Run as administrator'
    Right click Command Prompt and click ‘Run as administrator’
  2. Type sc delete mysql and press Enter. Voila! The service is now removed.
