Description
**Issue:**
When I run the example uninstall script I get the `EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink...` error.
Files are deleted but the service is sometimes not, and when I run the script again I get the `Uninstall was skipped...` meesage.
I am trying to run the example hello_word service and I am running the commands as the Administrator. Not sure if I should run the scripts as a different user?
**How To Reproduce:**
1. Clone node-windows repo
2. Go to example directory where the hello_word program is
3. Run `npm install`
4. Run `npm link node-windows`
5. Run install script
6. Run uninstall script
7. Error is displayed, service is not deleted
**Expected Behaviour:**
I would expect the service to be deleted without an error.
**Server:**
- OS: Windows Server 2022
