NAME Uninstall-CService
SYNOPSIS
Removes/deletes a service.
SYNTAX
Uninstall-CService [-Name] <String> [[-StopTimeout] <TimeSpan>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Removes an existing Windows service. If the service doesn't exist, nothing happens. The service is stopped

process. This helps prevent requiring a reboot. If you want to give the service time to
