To uninstall the Apache service run (from elevated command-line, Run as admin) httpd -k uninstall.

Then you can delete the Program Files\ folders of Apache and PHP.

    I have Apache 2.4 and PHP installed, and I want to remove them in order to install WAMP. I can't find the Apache or PHP uninstallers, not inside any of the folders, and it's not even in "add/remove programs".

    Does anybody know what can be done in order to remove both without leaving garbage?

      How were they installed in the first place?

      I am not aware that Apache uses anything outside its installation folder. But I personally would just install both again, then uninstall it, if you really want to run the uninstall executable.
