<# .TITLE Cleanup Orphaned Apps .SYNOPSIS Finds Intune apps that have no assignments or are superseded by newer versions, and optionally deletes them. .DESCRIPTION This script scans the Intune app catalog for cleanup candidates: apps with no assignments at all, and Win32 apps that a newer app supersedes. Old installer versions and abandoned test apps accumulate quickly and clutter the catalog. By default the script only reports; deletion requires the -Remove switch, supports -WhatIf preview, and prompts per app. Deleting an app from Intune does not uninstall it from devices that already have it. .TAGS Apps,Operational .MINROLE Intune Administrator .PERMISSIONS DeviceManagementApps.ReadWrite.All .AUTHOR Ugur Koc .VERSION 1.2 .CHANGELOG 1.2 - Added Azure Automation contract validation, portal-safe boolean parameters, beta Graph endpoints, and terminating paging errors 1.1 - Azure Automation now records script progress, outcomes, and summaries in job history 1.0 - Initial release .LASTUPDATE 2026-07-30 .EXAMPLE .\cleanup-orphaned-apps.ps1 Reports unassigned and superseded apps without deleting anything .EXAMPLE .\cleanup-orphaned-apps.ps1 -OlderThanDays 90 Only reports apps created more than 90 days ago .EXAMPLE .\cleanup-orphaned-apps.ps1 -Remove "true" -WhatIf Shows exactly which apps would be deleted, without deleting them .NOTES - Requires Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module - Superseded means another Win32 app declares a supersedence relationship to this app (supersedingAppCount > 0) - Deleting an app does not uninstall it from devices; it removes the deployment object - Recently created apps are excluded by default (-OlderThanDays 30) to avoid flagging work in progress - Uses beta Graph endpoints because supersedence counts are exposed there - Local interactive sign-in uses the MgGraphCommunity module to avoid the Graph SDK's mandatory WAM broker on Windows #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true, ConfirmImpact = "High")] param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Only consider apps created more than this many days ago")] [ValidateRange(0, 3650)] [int]$OlderThanDays = 30, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Delete the reported apps instead of only reporting")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$Remove, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Export results to CSV")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$ExportToCsv, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Output path for exports")] [string]$OutputPath = ".", [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "Force module installation without prompting")] [ValidateSet("true", "false", "1", "0", '$true', '$false')] [string]$ForceModuleInstall ) # Normalize the local module-install override for Azure Automation parameter binding. $forceModuleInstallRaw = [string]$ForceModuleInstall Remove-Variable -Name ForceModuleInstall if ([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($forceModuleInstallRaw)) { $ForceModuleInstall = $false } elseif ($forceModuleInstallRaw.Trim().ToLowerInvariant() -in @("true", "1", '$true')) { $ForceModuleInstall = $true } elseif ($forceModuleInstallRaw.Trim().ToLowerInvariant() -in @("false", "0", '$false')) { $ForceModuleInstall = $false } else { throw "Parameter 'ForceModuleInstall' accepts only true, false, 1, 0, $true, or $false." } # Azure Automation supplies portal parameter values as strings.
