Is there an established way to uninstall an application that was deployed via ClickOnce using the Online Only method? I found it's location buried deep in the %APPDATA% tree, but I want to make sure I back it out all the way without creating future problems when I reinstall it.

A:
If you're just dealing with your machine and it's the only ClickOnce application installed, delete everything under the Apps folder (C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Apps on my machine).
You can also use a command line tool that comes with the Windows and .NET Framework SDKs. It's called Mage. Running mage -cc will clear all the ClickOnce apps off your machine.
If you don't have mage, refer to this question.
Just know that all of these methods remove all ClickOnce applications. I don't know of a good way to remove a single, online-only application without affecting other ClickOnce apps.

Turns out this works too: rundll32 %windir%\system32\dfshim.dll CleanOnlineAppCache

yep, pretty much the `mage -cc` equivalent.
