| Some application types do not support uninstallation. |
The following list gives more information about the application uninstall behavior:
- When you uninstall a Configuration Manager
application, the dependent applications are not automatically
uninstalled.
- If you deploy an application that uses an
action of Uninstall to a user, and the application was
installed for all users of the computer, then the uninstall might
fail if the user’s account does not have permissions to uninstall
the application.
- If you remove a user or device from a
collection that has an application deployed to it, the application
will not be automatically removed from the device.
- A deployment with the deployment purpose of
Uninstall does not check requirement rules. If the
application is installed on the computer on which the deployment
runs, it will be uninstalled.

| You must delete any existing deployments or simulated deployments of an application to a collection before you can deploy the application with a deployment action of Uninstall. |
