Hi @lalajee ,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Per my experience, you can just remove the task sequence step which contains the Package xxxx6FE and retry it. If it is a required application, you can recreate an application and distribute it to your DPs.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
