Remove Old Applications

One example, several of my computers have multiple versions of OneDrive installed under different users profiles. This kind of makes reporting a bit of a pain. Is there a way to trigger either PDQ product to uninstall older versions of an application if a newer one exists?

I have been working on a PDQ Inventory report which white-lists all approved applications and then returns any application not within the parameters of that report. The report then generates a list of the application name, version and the uninstall string which I then process through an auto report to create an CSV.

What I've been working on from all this is then having a Powershell script which runs a ForEach on the uninstall strings by importing the CSV from the auto report. Once I have the script and everything put together, I plan on running it daily or weekly with PDQ Deploy.
