Service doesn't delete when uninstalling

I have written a service in vb.net.

I've created the start and stop functions which work fine.

I've created an installer project, and built an installer for my service.

This all works fine. However, when I uninstall my service it doesn't delete
the service. Also, if I create an updated service and try and install it it
will fail saying that the service is already started.

Have I missed something to uninstall the existing service on
upgrade/uninstall?

I don't know if or which code or settings would be helpful so I've not
included any.

Thanks
Simon
