Goal

If AS Control or DCMCTL utility ("dcmctl undeployApplication") is failing to undeploy an application, there may be a need for a manual procedure to remove/clean up undeployable application. There can be various reasons for the failures:

• When trying to undeploy, the error seen will be, "An error occurred while undeploying the application", followed by another message, such as "No ApplicationInfo is associated with application named". This could indicate an issue with default-web-site.xml and/or associated directories with the application.
  
  
• An application may fail to undeploy when an unexpected occurrence put the configuration and repository out of sync. There may be errors including but not limited to ADMN-202001, ADMN-906025, or ADMN-705021. The dcmctl utility may show In Sync Status may show  "False: Application ". Be sure to review <Note 238393.1> Troubleshooting DCM Repository Out of Sync Errors"

The end result may be the desire to just remove the application and start over. The remainder of this document provides the steps to manually remove an application, but can also be used to check the trail of configuration for the deployed applications. Use this when there is a problem with the Components created and applications deployed, not when there is a larger issue with AS Control or DCMCTL utilities.
