You need to open registry editor (run regedit.exe) then navigate to:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Services
find the key (branch) repesenting your orphan service - usually named
same or similar enough to display name for this service as seen in 
MMC services, right click and delete (export it just in case before
removal by choosing Registry menu, Export Registry File...) then 
reboot PC and verify that service does not exist. You'll be still
left with some (very few?) orphan files on your HDD that belonged to 
deleted service.

Be extra very careful with what you delete.
