Why are you trying to uninstall Elasticsearch? Have you found some significant bugs? Can you tell me what alternate options you are considering?

The reason for uninstalling ELK 8 is, it is incompatible with some plugins. so we are trying to go back to elk 7.17.x version

There is a typo in your command, it should be elasticsearch-service.bat, you typed elasticsearch-service. bat.

If you want to do a clean uninstall just remove the service and delete the folder, you can also remove the service directly from the service management tab in windows.

Thanks for the reply. I did a clean uninstall by removing the service and deleting the folder.

Thank you
