Delete Service Applications in SharePoint 2013

Too much candy?

Cheers all!

I have noted that it is not always that easy to get rid of a Service Application should you wish to remove it completely. It can be either during initial setup, after a service breakdown or for any other reason, you want it gone and you want it to be completely gone when you are done. The next step is often to set it up again from scratch…so any remnants will cause you problems.

So, which way is the easiest to choose? I say PowerShell, 100(or maybe 99) out of 100.

Below, I have for your convenience created oneliners that will take care of all of your Service Applications for you.

After each Command, add the flag -RemoveData to have all data and databases removed at the same time. Use the -RemoveData with care though, be absolutely sure that all data absolutely needs to be deleted Before using the flag.
