    I'm trying to uninstall IIS from Windows Server R2. I tried Service Manager -> Remove Roles and Features, uninstalling ran, the restart computer, but it's still there. I tried also to do it by PowerShell:

    Import-Module ServerManager    
    Remove-WindowsFeature Web-Server -restart
    

    but without success too.

    I think some local services prevent uninstalling, I should disable them, but not sure which.
