As shown in the picture below, I want to delete MyNewService, but when I type in

sc delete MyNewService

I simply can't delete it because there is no such servic, due to "the Specified service does not exist as an installed service" error

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Edit: as far as the service panel is concerned, the MyNewService is there all the time; I restarted the pc a few times, and it's there.
