AWS IoT Greengrass Component delete

Question

Hi AWS people
I installed AWS IoT Greengrass on Windows and deployed components locally.

But I had a problem because I met an error.
I checked the log, and I want to delete the components I distributed locally from the component list.
```
Component Name: com.drag.Modbus
    Version: 1.0.0
    State: NEW
    Configuration: {}
```

I used the following command, but the component was not deleted.
```
/greengrass/v2/bin/greengrass-cli deployment create --remove="com.drag.Modbus"
/greengrass/v2/bin/greengrass-cli \ --ggcRootPath /greengrass/v2 deployment create \ --remove "com.drag.Modbus"

```

I want to remove the faulty component from the device.
What should I do?

Hello,

How did you originally deploy that component? You should use the same method to remove it. So if you deployed to a thing group you'd need to make a new deployment to the thing group which does not include the component.

`deployment create --remove ` is the right command to remove from a local deployment, but this only works if you deployed the component locally to begin with.

If you deployed the component both locally and from a cloud-based deployment then you must remove it from both the local and cloud deployments.

Cheers,

Michael
