If you want to uninstall a package from devices in Jamf School, you can use an uninstaller provided by the package's publisher or a custom script. For more information about scripts, see Scripts.

Before deploying the uninstaller or script to a device group, Jamf recommends removing the device group from the package's scope.

  1. In Jamf School, navigate to Apps > Inventory in the sidebar.

    1. Click the name of the package you want to uninstall from devices.
    2. Click Delete for one or more device groups in the lower-left corner.
    3. Click Save in the lower-right corner.
  3. If you do not have an uninstaller provided by the package's publisher, create a script and deploy it to one or more device groups to uninstall the package.
