CentOS uninstalling Pure-FTPd

[Time]

Pure-FTPd came pre-installed on my VPS but when I try to uninstall it I get an error:

error reading information on service pure-ftpd: No such file or directory

Removed:
pure-ftpd.i386 0:1.0.20-32

Complete!

After that pure-ftpd's FTP server is still running and I'm unable to stop it

[root@insideyourpc /]# service pure-ftpd stop
pure-ftpd: unrecognized service

Anyone able to help?


EDIT: Never mind, managed to fix it myself.

just incase others want a solution

pkill pure-ftpd

will do the job

or
/var/run/pure-ftpd.pid will have the pid, so you can find it and kill it..
