To fully delete these files, you need to start your computer in safe mode, go to the file location and fully delete it there. The program will not automatically start in safe mode. It wont let you remove it otherwise, even with it's uninstaller. Spooky Clown
rsEngineSvc is part of a suite of malware. It spawns multiple malicious processes and persists beyond uninstall. On restart the program reinstalls itself. Large amounts of work are required to disinfect the impacted system. foo

Best practices for resolving rsEngineSvc issues
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with rsEngineSvc. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.
To help you analyze the rsEngineSvc.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. A good Bantivirus software detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
