I've been trying to uninstall Adobe Flash remotely to 100+ Machines. I've been using the Adobe flash uninstall.exe file. But it doesn't remove the flash.ocx file. The flash.ocx file is locked by the "trustedinstaller". Even with administrative rights the file still can't be deleted. I need to do this for 100+ Machines so a cmd command would be great! (Windows 10)
The locked files are for the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player.
Adobe's uninstallers don't remove any browser-embedded Flash Player.
Microsoft has released an update, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4577586/update-for-removal-of-adobe-flash-player, to remove the IE/Edge embedded Flash Player ActiveX Control
If you have Chrome, per the Chrome Flash road-map Google will remove support Flash from Chrome in Chrome 88, scheduled for release some time this month.
