- If an agent is offline when uninstalling an application, the uninstall command will remain in the queue of the agent for 7 days.

However, if more than 7 days pass, then a new uninstall command needs to be initiated.
To uninstall software from your device(s):

2. Click Uninstall. A confirmation window appears.
