Problem uninstalling Windows Service

I created my first Windows Service in dotnet 1.1.

I installed it. It needs debugging. I couldn't stop it so a rebooted.
Then I made the mistake of fixing code for it and rebuilding and replacing
the previoius myservice.exe with the new one before doing

InstallUtil /U on the old one.

Now I can't seem to uninstall the old or install the new.

So I thought, "I will just delete the thing from the registry.. So I found
the services on the Local Machine and deleted mine, but it still shows up in
Services list.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Shane
