Delete computer application - Defender 365

Hey,

 

I'm trying to fix weaknesses that are marked on our Microsoft 365 Defender.

 

I'm created an Intune package to install the new version of Firefox - however it didn't remove the old versions. Is there a way for me using: Defender/Intune/GPO to remove multiple old versions of Firefox for example, that are installed on the users computers?

 

I can see the list of devices that are affected but how can I fix it as quickly as possible?

 

Thanks!

    I think this URL will help with this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-supersedence

      Thank you for the reply.
      There is an issue here where I have many versions of Firefox.
      it will require me to supersede tens of Firefox packages as far as I'm aware.

      Isn't there a way to initiate an removal of the app without creating a specific package for each and every version?

        That will vary by application. If Firefox supports an option to delete previous versions that would be possible.
