Follow these steps:

1. To uninstall Apache as a service, open a Command Prompt window.
2. Navigate to default Apache installation directory, or wherever apache.exe is located. For Example, C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin.
3. At the command prompt, type 'apache -k uninstall' without the quotes.
4. Close the Command Prompt window.
5. Go to Windows Services and check that Apache2 is no longer listed as a service.
6. Navigate to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
7. Uninstall 'Apache HTTP Server 2.0.42' by clicking Remove.
8. Delete the Apache installation directory in Windows Explorer. For example: C:\Apache.
