removing JNLP slave on Windows

[Logan L]

After adding nodes on the slave computers (AKA my coworkers machines hahaha) now I am wondering how do I remove the "jenkins slave" service. I tried using the same method that I uninstall jenkins, but instead with the slave.exe. That didn't work.

> jenkins-slave.exe uninstall


Any ideas??

I use ‘sc delete <servicename>’

Thanks that worked.

A couple snaffus..

• if you are using powershell you have to type sc.exe because "sc" is an alias for some other crap.
  
• DON'T TYPE "SC DELETE JENKINS" if you have jenkins installed as a windows service.. lol it will remove the main jenkins and not the service.
  

Finding the name of the slave service.

• open up services.msc
• open properties of the jenkins slave
• the name of the service will be at the top as "Service name"
• Use this value when you type sc.exe delete
