  Hi

  You can delete service application from Central admin site or by powershell script. Here is a function for deleting service application

  Function RemoveServiceApplication
  {
      param
      (
          $SvcAppName,
          $AppProxyName,
          $AppPoolName,
          [bool]$deleteData
      )
      Try
       {
          #Service Application
          $svcApp = Get-SPServiceApplication | ? {$_.DisplayName -eq $SvcAppName -or $_.ID -eq $SvcAppName} -ea SilentlyContinue
          if($svcApp -ne $null)
          {
              $count = $svcApp.Count
              if($count -gt 1)
              {
                   Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - There are more than one service appliation with the name: $SvcAppName, please input the service application ID that you want to delete"
                   $svcApp | format-list -property DisplayName,TypeName,ID
                   $id =""
                   While($id -eq "" -or $svcApp -eq $null)
                   {
                      $id = Read-Host "Service Application ID:"
                      $svcApp = Get-SPServiceApplication $id -ea SilentlyContinue
                   }
              }
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - Deleting Service Application: $SvcAppName"
              if($deleteData)
              {
                  Remove-SPServiceApplication -Identity $svcApp.ID -RemoveData
              }
              else
              {
                  Remove-SPServiceApplication -Identity $svcApp.ID
              }
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - Service Application: $SvcAppName had been deleted"
              
          }
          else
          {
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - The service application: $SvcAppName not found, continue..."
          }
          #App Pool
          $ApplicationPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool $AppPool -ea SilentlyContinue
             If ($ApplicationPool -ne $null)
          {
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - Deleting SharePoint Hosted Services Application Pool..."
              Remove-SPServiceApplicationPool $ApplicationPool
              
                 If (-not $?) { Throw "Failed to delete the application pool" }
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - SharePoint Hosted Services Application Pool had been deleted"
             }
          #App Proxy
          $appProxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | Where {$_.DisplayName -eq $AppProxyName} -ea SilentlyContinue
          if($appProxy -ne $null)
          {
              $count = $svcApp.Count
              if($count -gt 1)
              {
                   Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - There are more than one service appliation proxy with the name: $AppProxyName, please input the service application Proxy ID that you want to delete"
                   $appProxy | format-list -property DisplayName,TypeName,ID
                   $id =""
                   While($id -eq "" -or $appProxy -eq $null)
                   {
                      $id = Read-Host "Service Application Proxy ID:"
                      $appProxy = Get-SPServiceApplication $id -ea SilentlyContinue
                   }
              }
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - Deleting Service Application Proxy: $AppProxyName"
              if($deleteData)
              {
                  Remove-SPServiceApplicationProxy -Identity $appProxy.ID -RemoveData
              }
              else
              {
                  Remove-SPServiceApplication -Identity $appProxy.ID
              }
              Write-Host -ForegroundColor White " - Service Application: $AppProxyName had been deleted"
          }
       }
       Catch
       {
            Write-Output $_
       }
  }

  You can also delete it directly through Central Administration.

  It's been a while since I really had to deal with search, maybe things have gotten better... But this rings a familiar bell...

  As I recall one of the problems with a search that had gone off to lala land was that you also have to remote to the box and stop the oseach14 service :

  Open a command prompt on your server and type in:

      net stop osearch14

  Then in CA you should see the services stopped, at which point you can delete them and start over.
