The service should *usually* deleted right away. In my experience, if the service isn't removed immediately that means that the service is not shutting down cleanly or there is some other process on the machine that has a handle locked on the SCM. The restart causes all the handles to get cleaned up and that works around the problem.
The root issue is usually something on the machine.
