Prevent package regeneration

To ensure deleted packages don't return, you need to update the upgrade settings in the Flexera One UI.

1. Stop automatic agent package downloads

1. Go to Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Tasks > Inventory Settings.
2. Under Inventory agent for automatic deployment, locate the Upgrade Mode setting.
3. Set Upgrade Mode to Do not upgrade automatically.

2. Stop automatic beacon package downloads

1. Go to Data Collection > IT Assets Inventory Tasks > Beacons.
2. Locate the desired beacon and click the pencil icon under the Actions column.
3. On the Beacon properties page, set Upgrade Mode to Do not upgrade automatically.

Manually delete old packages

After the settings are changed:

• Delete agent packages from:
  C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Staging\Common\Packages\Flexera
• Delete beacon packages from:
  C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Beacon\Staging\Common\Packages\Flexera

Enhancement request

Deletion must be done manually via the file system. There is currently no automated method within the UI or application. Flexera is currently tracking a feature request to automate this cleanup process. You can view and vote on the idea here:
