Delete a service application
in SharePoint 2013
|
service
applications can be deleted by using the SharePoint Central Administration
website or by using Windows Power Shell 3.0 cmdlets.

Before deleting
a service application, verify that its removal will not adversely affect users.
As a best practice, you should ensure that no web applications are currently
consuming the service application that you are going to delete.
When you
delete a service application, you have the option of also deleting the service
application database. Some service applications do not have databases. If you
plan to create the service application again in the future, do not delete the
service application database. If the service application is temporary, you will
most likely want to delete the database during this operation.
