Delete App Win32

Hi,

 

How do you remove a Win32 app from intune please? When deleting sequal management studio (ssms) the error "this app cannot be deleted because it is related to another app. Remove the relationship before deleting this app".

 

Thanks in advance

  • Hi,

    Removing a Win32 app from Intune can be a bit tricky, especially when there are dependencies involved. To resolve the issue you're facing, you can follow these steps:

    First, you need to identify the app that is related to the one you're trying to delete (in this case, SSMS). To do this:

    Search for the app you're trying to delete (SSMS)
    Click on the three dots next to the app name and select Properties
    In the Properties pane, scroll down to the Relationships section
    Look for any related apps listed here
    Once you've identified the related app, you need to remove the relationship:

    Go to the related app's Properties pane (follow the same steps as above)
    In the Relationships section, click on the three dots next to the app that is related to SSMS
    Select Remove relationship
    Confirm that you want to remove the relationship
    Delete the app
    After removing the relationship, you should be able to delete the app

    Go back to the SSMS app's Properties pane
    Click on the three dots next to the app name and select Delete
    Confirm that you want to delete the app
    If you're still encountering issues, you can try checking the following

    Make sure you have the necessary permissions to delete apps in Intune
    Verify that there are no other relationships or dependencies that need to be removed
    Try deleting the app from the Intune PowerShell module.

    Thanks
