As per the subject, how do I remove the C:\Windows\AdminArsenal directory and sub-directories from workstations and servers?

I scanned the wrong OU. I need to remove all traces of PDQ from the workstations and servers. 1200+

Thanks!

PowerShell is your friend:
```
Remove-Item -path "C:\Windows\AdminArsenal" -recurse
```

Thanks for the suggestion. I will script it.

For the developers: Please include this function when you delete an object from the inventory.

Leaving the files there is causing more issues than I hoped for. Our machines are heavily audited and some of them require lenghty CR processes to make any changes. (I have some explaining to do)

Just curious, when you saying issues, do you mean auditing issues or did it cause issues on the computers themselves?

The app works great. We have strict auditing for validated machines in certain OU's. Everything is logged so I can't make changes without CR's in place.
