How to remove "CYGWIN sshd" service from service list in Windows 7?

I uninstalled CYGWIN from Windows machine, but still I am seeing the name "CYGWIN sshd" in the service list.

This is the steps I have followed to uninstall it,

In the cmd prompt, I run the following commands,

takeown /r /d y /f cygwin

icacls cygwin /t /grant Everyone:F

rmdir /s /q cygwin

Everything was removed successfully, but the name is not removed from the service list. Here my question is how to remove the name from Service list?

No CYGWIN related items show up in Control Panel->Programs and Features? – Leathe – 2015-10-23T04:52:27.570

Nothing has been there in control panel related to CYGWIN. Uninstall is completed successfully. But the name is still present in service list and the status of the service is stopped. – Rubanraj Ravichandran – 2015-10-23T04:59:38.727

Make sure you follow the steps in the CYGWIN FAQ. If you just want to remove the service from the service list, you can follow these steps from ghacks.net - how to remove services in windows.

To remove a service in Windows:

Open up the Command Prompt (aka cmd) as administrator (elevated privileges).
Type in sc delete "name of service" and hit enter. To get the proper full name of a service, open the Windows Services management listing and double click on the service. The proper service name is under "Service Name: #service name#"
