Deleting Packages

AdminStudio Enterprise Server 11.0 | Configuration Manager Web Console

From the Configuration Manager Web Console, you can delete a package from the Application Catalog, from the Configuration Manager Server, or both.

Caution: Deleting a distributed package from Configuration Manager will also delete its programs and any advertisements of the programs. If the package has source files, they will be removed from distribution points. If there are access accounts for this package, they will be deleted. Also, Configuration Manager Administrators' security rights to the package will be deleted.

Caution: When you delete a package from the Application Catalog, all package configuration information is lost, even if you do not delete it from Configuration Manager. If you delete a package from the Application Catalog but not from Configuration Manager, the package would still be available on the Configuration Manager Server, but all connection between the Application Catalog and Configuration Manager is lost. Should you want to distribute that package again in the future, you would have to re-import the application into the Application Catalog, and then re-enter package configuration information on the Configuration Manager Package Configuration Page.

To delete a package:

Launch Configuration Manager Web Console. The Configuration Manager Web Console Home Page opens.

Click Package Administration. The Package Administration page appears, listing all packages in your Application Catalog. In the Status column, each package's status is either Distributed or Not Distributed.

Select a package and click Delete Distribution. The Connect to Configuration Manager page appears.

Enter a valid User Name and Password for the Configuration Manager Server you want to connect to, and click Next. The Confirm Delete page appears prompting you to confirm that you want to delete this package from the Application Catalog. If you are deleting a Distributed package, you are also prompted to confirm that you want to delete this package from Configuration Manager.

Select Yes or No to indicate your deletion preferences:

Package Status	Delete from Catalog?	Delete from Configuration Manager?
Not Distributed	Choose Yes to confirm the deletion from the Application Catalog or choose No to decline the deletion. If you choose Yes, the package will be deleted from the Application Catalog, along with all of the package configuration information that you entered on the Configuration Manager Package Configuration page.	N/A
Distributed	Choose Yes to confirm the deletion from the Application Catalog, or choose No to decline the deletion. If you delete a package from Configuration Manager but do not delete it from the Application Catalog, all of the package configuration information that you entered on the Configuration Manager Package Configuration page is saved, making it easy to distribute this package again in the future.	Choose Yes to confirm the deletion from Configuration Manager, or choose No to decline the deletion. Unless you are certain that you will never want to distribute this package again, it is recommended that if you delete a package from Configuration Manager, you do not delete it from the Application Catalog.
