Users may install some applications, run them a few times, and then not use them again for a long period of time. These applications can unnecessarily take up valuable workstation disk space.
To free up disk space, you can have Application Launcher/Explorer uninstall an application that has not been run for a period of time. You can determine the time period; the default is 30 days. For example, you may want one application removed after 15 days of unuse, but you may not want to remove another application until it has not been run for 90 days.
Unless the user or workstation is disassociated from the Application object, Application Launcher/Explorer will continue to display the Application object icon on the workstation after the application is uninstalled. If the user double-clicks the icon, the application will be installed again.
To configure an unused application to be removed after a period of time:
In ConsoleOne, right-click the Application object > click Properties.
Click the Common tab > Uninstall to display the Uninstall page.
If the Enable Uninstall option is not turned on, click the box to turn it on.
Click the Uninstall Application If Not Used Within XX Days box to turn on the option > select the number of days you want.
If you have not selected the attributes you want to use to determine whether or not the application's files, shortcuts, INI settings, and registry settings are removed, do so now. For information about each option, see Enabling an Application to be Uninstalled .
