    I prefer to use Autoruns to check / disable third party services / tasks etc.

    I'm not sure how much success that would have considering the hoops I had to jump through to just move the folder elsewhere, the 7 components in the folder and the folder itself were owned by the Trusted Installer as were the registry keys calling the services. Very resistant to allowing me to take ownership.
    After moving the folder to an external drive, exporting then removing the registry keys there is no longer any sign of OpenSSH on my system and after extensive testing, absolutely nothing has complained about it being missing.
    I'm not one to hack at the registry or services willy-nilly as I'm well aware you can cause Windows to fall over very easily with one simple change, however this suite of utilities really seems to serve no purpose on my system while opening "holes" in the underlying networking structure.
    I only took the action I did based on feedback from others and research into what these services are responsible for and how they relate to my system.
    I'm in no way suggesting anyone else does what I've done, you could cause serious damage to your system.
