Hi Andy,
If you don't see MySQL Server in the list of programs to uninstall in Control Panel, but see a MySQL Service in the Windows Services console, it means that previously MySQL Server was installed (most probably NOT using the MySQL Installer for Windows, maybe using an old MySQL Server stand-alone MSI), the Windows Service for the MySQL Server might have been created either manually or by the MSI but upon uninstalling the MySQL Server the Windows Service was not removed.

Is the service running? Most probably it is not running and pointing to an EXE that does not exist anymore. If that is the case just remove the service.

Best regards.
