Appendix I: Preference Settings for Managed Devices > Alphabetical Listing of Preference Settings for Managed Devices

Command-line | Registry | Project Variable

Allows forced deletion of redundant files in the Windows system folder. By default, when files in a package are marked as redundant, after the installation they are deleted on the managed device. However, because files within the Windows system folder may be shared by other packages, they are not deleted. ForceSharedFileRemove allows for the deletion of these files.

If True, redundant files within the Windows system folder are deleted when the other redundant files in a package are deleted. If False, files in the Windows system folder are not deleted. This setting also determines the default response to keeping shared files during the uninstallation of packages. If True, the default response is to not keep the files. If False, the default response is to keep the shared files.

Be aware:

To control this behavior for a single package, it must be set as a project variable in the package (Registry entries stored in a package are only set after the installation of the package).
