Uninstall specific version and reinstall updated version in Intune

Question

Hi there,

Hope you are well.

In Intune, Monitoring --> Apps --> Discovered Apps --> I looked for "AppX". It shows the result different number of versions which are < 3.X.X.

It is possible to uninstall those previous app versions from the client devices (which were installed manually) and deploy a Win32 package / LOB package for the same with 3.X.X version?

Let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks in advance :-)

Kind Regards,

Nas

@Nasrul Islam, Thanks for posting in Q&A. For the app, does it have silently uninstall command? If yes, you can deploy the previous app via win32 and add the device or user into this Win32 uninstall assignment to see if it can remove these apps.

Meanwhile, if this has any more update version in the future, you can consider Win32 Supersedence to update win32 app.

Hope the above information can help.

@Crystal-MSFT Thanks for your answer. App package to be deployed: Microsoft 365 Apps. App to be uninstalled: Microsoft Office Professional 2019 (different versions). I've selected "Remove Previous Version". Do you think this would help in uninstalling the existing versions?
