As I install my Windows Services in a CI process each night, I needed something that works all the time and is completely automated. For some reason, the services were always marked for deletion for a long time (5 minutes or more) after uninstalling them. Therefore, I extended the reinstallation batch script to make sure that the service is really deleted (simplified version):
The same happens when I try to uninstall the SSMS now. So, I decided to manually remove the program from my PC. I uninstalled all the components of SQL Server 2017 from the Control Panel. Deleted all remaining files in C:\Program Files.Even after this, I still couldn't uninstall SSMS 18. Even if I delete the SQL Server Management Studio 18 folder from C:\Program Files, I still receive the same error, and my control panel continues to show SSMS as installed on my computer, yet it doesn't show up in my Start Menu.
I had a similar issue with SSMS release 18.9.1. I had accidentally ended the installation midway through, and after trying to reinstall SSMS, it was stuck "loading packages". It also was showing up as an installed program, but it would not let me uninstall because it would still "load packages".
Also, to uninstall Flag (as in your comment here), you have to uninstall dependencies first, then and only then, it will allow you to uninstall Flag. Because if module X depends on Flag and somehow you removed flag, it will totally screw up module X, X becomes useless, module X is nothing without Flag. Therefore you need to remove module X first, then and only then it will allow you to remove Flag.

More specifically, I have a linux-image-extra package and it's linux-image dependency is no longer isntallable. I have more recent kernels installed so removing this should not be a problem, but the uninstall process always fails.
When you manually uninstall the activated Deep Security Agent or relay from a computer, the computer does not notify Deep Security Manager that the software has been uninstalled. On the Computers page in Deep Security Manager, the computer's status is still displayed as Managed (Offline) or similar, depending on the context.

Administrators can delete endpoints from their console to free up a seat from the subscription and remove the software from the endpoint.

I've been trying to uninstall and re-install Endpoint Agent since a couple of days ago in 2 laptops. So far in both I've encounter the same issue. I've tried to run the mbam-clean.exe with the "/Cloud" switch and it finishes without errors (it even asks me to reboot in order to complete the uninstall process). I proceed with the restart but then I notice the Endpoint Agent entry is still there in the list of installed apps.
@King_Of_The_Castle when the product will not uninstall, it is due to a corrupt C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes Endpoint Agent\MBCloudEA.exe.Config file, deleting it and trying to uninstall again will let it work, but with these items and others deleted manually, it got you stuck. Awesome suggestion @kahml! Using the MSI directly with the /x switch was brilliant move. Thanks for helping out!
My problem is that when I'm trying to uninstall vanilla Chrome it says the MSI file is missing. This shouldn't be a major issue but MSIEXEC won't uninstall Chrome either, even with the MSIEXEC /X command.
The only way I've successfully removed Chrome is using REVO Uninstaller, but I've got 100 machines with the same problem and I really need a command line where I can just uninstall them remotely.Can anyone else think of a way to kill off Google Chrome remotely on 100 machines? A cleanup tool would be amazing.
