I'm trying to uninstall a win32 app with the Endpoint Manager. It said it was succesfully uninstalled on my test machine. The desktop icon disappeared and the program file data is also gone, but the program is still visible in Programs and Features. What am i missing?

I'm using the following uninstall command from the registry: MsiExec.exe /X{1007C9FA-1D4C-4DED-8B1B-9640E003833C}

    I've had a similar type of issue, what worked for me was instead of using direct msi uninstall command I created and used an uninstall command file. If you haven't done this before, feel free to use this as your template, just paste into Notepad, save it as uninstall.cmd, and toss it into Intune. Make sure you have the correct Application ID/GUID.

    rem -------------------------------  
    rem Win32 Uninstall .cmd wrapper  
    rem -------------------------------  
    rem you need to find and replace  
    rem the GUID between the {} in the  
    rem uninstall commands below  
    rem -------------------------------  
    rem to do that ...  
    rem -------------------------------  
    rem in an Admin command prompt  
    rem Type "powershell" (no quotes)  
    rem in the powershell window, paste below:  
    rem "get-wmiobject Win32_Product | Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table IdentifyingNumber, Name, LocalPackage -AutoSize" (no quotes)  
    rem you will see a list displayed  
    rem find (copy) the GUID (IdentifyingNumber) of the program you want, and paste it between the {} below  
    rem -------------------------------  
    rem uninstall command: msiexec /x {CED90448-495B-3A7A-9ED3-49912B8E17D0} /q  
    rem -------------------------------  
      
    rem -------------------------------  
    rem uninstall Zoom ...  
    rem -------------------------------  
    msiexec /x {E3F9ACBA-5AAF-4F03-B8A0-117DD13D6FEA} /q  
      
    :quit
