I am unable to uninstall roles and feature on Windows Server 2012 R2 due to pending restart

Due to an error on IIS when using remoteApp I am trying to uninstall IIS on my Windows Server 2012 R2, but the job fails because of pending restart. I have restartet the server many times, but the problem still exist. I hope some of you can help me figure out what is causing the server to want restarting all the time and not give me the option to remove a role/feature.

I have accidentially deleted the RDWEB folder on the IIS and therefore I need to uninstall the service and install it again

Go to services, change Remote Desktop services to manual for startup and try again.  You may need to reboot the server prior to trying to remove role.
