Are 2 MySQL56 services in Notifier normal?

Hello, everyone

This will probably be a stupid question, but I am a newbie, so bear with me.

I used to have MySQL installed on my Win7 64 bit machine but I deleted it some time ago. I deleted everything on the hard-drive, there was no folder named MySQL anywhere.

Now I installed MySQL again and I saw in the Notifier that I had MySQL56 and MySQL56_1 services. The MySQL56_1 service was the name suggested when I installed the service right now.

When I tried to start the MySQL56 service, which must have been a setting left over from the previous installation of MySQL, it crashed. I went to Regedit and deleted MySQL56 from SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/MySQL folder. I left the MySQL_1 folder there, though.

After restart of the PC I see in the Notifier that I have 2 MySQL56_1 services running (and 0 instances). One of the services in the Notifier also has "Configure Instance..." and "SQL Editor..." clickable selections underneath, the other has nothing.

Is this how it should be or I should somehow delete one of the MySQL56_1 services?
