Hello,
a few years ago I assigned a package to several hundred workstations, and I'd like to know how to remove this dependency.
Is it enough to simply delete the package from the server? Or is there a command that allows me to do this in bulk?
Forgetting the package isn't enough, apparently, because it will be re-executed on the next startup, if I understand correctly.
Thank you for your help.

Indeed, you must remove the dependency before forcing the uninstallation.
If the package was added directly to the machine's "packages," you must select all machines in the console (Ctrl+A) and then choose "Remove package dependencies or package groups" from the context menu. Next, check the package to remove in the list.
Then, click the "Check for updates" button (on connected machines...).
Then, right-click on the package to remove in the list of installed packages on the right, and select "Uninstall" (or "Forget," as appropriate) from the context menu.
