Uninstall a package

You can use the AWS Management Console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to uninstall Distributor packages from your AWS Systems Manager managed nodes by using Run Command. Distributor and Run Command are capabilities of AWS Systems Manager. In this release, you can uninstall one version of one package per command. You can uninstall a specific version or the default version.
