Last time I create WAS profile and WASService then I try to config and run many script for learn how to config WAS, Finally it crash so i use wasprofile delete this profile and forgot delete WASService.

Now I found IBM Webphere Application Server service display in services.msc list, so I tried to delete it with WASService.exe -remove command and windows SC command but I got message

C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin>sc delete "IBMWAS61Service - DEV"

make sure the service is stopped, the services control panel is closed, and no open file handles are open by the service.

Also make sure ProcessExplorer is not running.

For some buggy reason both Event Viewer and/or Services.msc won't do a proper refresh when you tell them to!

Close them and restart, and the service would have been deleted anyway.

I had the same issue. After I closing and re-opening the Computer Management window the service was removed from the list. I'm running windows 7

One situation where this can also happen is if there is some other service or application that is holding open a service handle obtained with OpenService. For example, a monitoring service that starts and stops services based on some external event can keep open handles to each of the services it monitors. In this case, uninstalling the service would leave it in the "marked for deletion" state until all handles obtained with OpenService are closed.
