Description

Use this cmdlet to remove a program from a package. When you remove a program from a package, Configuration Manager removes all of the deployments for this program. If Configuration Manager has already run the deployed program on clients, Configuration Manager doesn't remove the software.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a program by using a name and an ID

This command removes the program named ProgramD02 from the package with ID XYZ0000F.

Remove-CMProgram -PackageId "XYZ0000F" -ProgramName "ProgramD02"

Example 2: Remove a program by using an object variable

The first command uses the Get-CMProgram cmdlet to get the program named ProgramD02 in the package with ID XYZ0000F. It stores the results in the $Prog variable.

The second command removes the program.

$Prog = Get-CMProgram -Name "ProgramD02" -PackageId "XYZ0000F"
Remove-CMProgram -InputObject $Prog -Force
