**Important**  
Before you can run the **UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** command, the package must already have been added to the Application Virtualization Client.

To use **GLOBAL**, **UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** must be run as local Administrator; otherwise, only **ClearApp** permission is needed.

Using **UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** with **GLOBAL** removes any global file types and shortcuts for the package. **CLEAR** is not applicable.

Using **UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** without **GLOBAL** removes the user shortcuts and file types for the package and, if **CLEAR** is set, also removes user settings and stops background loads under the user’s context.

**UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** works on applications from the same package name or GUID that was used as the source ID for **ADD**, **EDIT**, and **PUBLISH PACKAGE**.

**UNPUBLISH PACKAGE** always clears all the user settings, shortcuts, and file types regardless of the use of the /CLEAR switch.
