ERROR_SERVICE_MARKED_FOR_DELETE
This error is returned if an attempt is made to work with the service through calls to the Service Control Manager API and the service was deleted by calling the DeleteService function. At the same time, the service was not completely deleted since one or more system processes hold an open handle on it. As soon as the last handle is closed, the Service Control Manager will complete the deletion of the service.
To solve the problem, you need to either exit the holding handles processes or just reboot the system. After reboot, the service will be permanently removed.
