How to uninstall Apache with command line

On Windows 8.1 I had to run cmd.exe as administrator (even though I was logged in as admin). Otherwise I got an error when trying to execute: httpd.exe -k uninstall

Error: C:\Program Files\Apache\bin>(OS 5)Access is denied. : AH00373: Apache2.4: OpenS ervice failed

sc delete Apache2.4

Remove service in windows

I've had this sort of problem.....

The solve: cmd / powershell run as ADMINISTRATOR! I always forget.

Notice: In powershell, you need to put .\ for example:

.\httpd -k shutdown .\httpd -k stop .\httpd -k uninstall

Result: Removing the apache2.4 service The Apache2.4 service has been removed successfully.
