remove/delete update and application function

would be nice if we could delete all the updates and applications from wsus and sccm directly through the publishing service console.

so this would help when do some sort of clean start over because of testing patch my pc...

    You can remove updates from WSUS using our publishing service. Here's the guide: How do I Remove Published Updates from WSUS and SCCM? - https://patchmypc.com/faq-scup-catalog#removing-published-updates

    For deleting apps you can use this guide https://patchmypc.com/how-to-delete-applications-created-by-patch-my-pc-in-sccm

    i'm getting Get-CMApplication : The term 'Get-CMApplication' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet with that script
    this one will work https://configgirl.com/2018/08/21/remove-all-configmgr-applications-in-a-folder/

    The source folders for applications would need to removed manually, but we would include removing those folders if we include an option to remove all applications from the publishing service.

    Good idea, we do want to include this in the product. For now, you can remove all applications created by Patch My PC from SCCM using this PowerShell script:Get-CMApplication | Where-Object {($_.SDMPackageXML -like '*PatchMyPC-ScriptRunner.exe*')} | Remove-CMApplication -Force -Verbose
