PackageDependency.Delete Method

Definition

Namespace:

Remarks

Removing a package dependency is typically done when an app is uninstalled. A package dependency is implicitly removed if its lifetime artifact (specified via the LifetimeArtifact property of the options parameter for the Create and CreateForSystem methods) is deleted. Package dependencies that are not referenced by other packages are elegible to be removed.

The caller of this function must have administrative privileges if the package dependency was created using the CreateForSystem method.
