How to Uninstall a VPP Application

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Question

If an app is deployed via VPP how can it be removed?

Answer

iOS:

Unscoping the application will result in a remove "Remove App - Name_of_app" command if the application was previously installed and managed by Jamf Pro.

macOS:

Unlike with iOS, removing a computer from the scope does not issue a remove command. Instead a command like the following can be issued to a computer locally or via a policy: rm -rf /Applications/nameOfApplication

Important Note: Test the rm -rf command on a single computer first. Failure to execute the command correctly can result in catastrophic system files loss.
