How to Uninstall an application assigned to All Devices in phased approach on Intune for Android

Hi Faizan1995,

To gradually uninstall Samsung Calendar from a large number of Android devices managed by Microsoft Intune, ensuring minimal disruption and control over the uninstallation process you can try to use these steps:

1. Create a Target Device Group:

   • Within Intune, create a new device group specifically for the phased uninstallation of Samsung Calendar.
   • Define this group using specific criteria, such as device properties or tags, to identify the devices where you want to remove Samsung Calendar.

2. Assign App Removal to the New Group:

   • Assign an app removal policy to the newly created device group.
   • Specify Samsung Calendar as the app to be uninstalled.
   • Set the policy's deployment state to "Available" or "Uninstall" depending on your phased approach.

3. Monitor Progress:

   • Allow sufficient time for the policy to take effect on devices in the new group.
   • Monitor the progress to confirm that Samsung Calendar is being successfully uninstalled from these devices.

4. Gradual Expansion:

   • Once you're confident that the app removal is working as intended, gradually expand the scope of this device group by modifying the group membership criteria.
   • Include more devices in this group as you proceed with the phased uninstallation plan.

5. Remove "All Devices" from Required:

   • After Samsung Calendar has been successfully uninstalled from the targeted devices, you can safely remove the "All devices" assignment from the Required section.
   • This will prevent new enrollments from installing Samsung Calendar while preserving the phased removal process for existing devices.
