How to remove MySQL service from Windows

You must run the command "sc delete MySQL" where "MySQL" is the name of the service


control panel -> administrative tools -> services

Find mysql service, stop it, and set startup type to disabled.

However if you would uninstall mysql correctly it should have removed this service it self. So probably some bug creped out from somewhere.

PS this is not a development related question, it would be more appropriate to ask it superuser.com


mysqld-max-nt.exe -remove or mysqld-nt.exe -remove one of these commands works to remove the service on all Windows operating systems.
