      For some reason it is not possible to uninstall the windows-slaves plugin.

          [JENKINS-59518] Unable to uninstall windows-slaves plugin

          a disabled plugin cannot be expected to be providing dependencies to other plugins

          And yet, it is considered to be providing such a dependency, which is why it cannot be removed and keeps coming back.

          markewaite All I know is the user experience on this is awful. The plugin that is not actually needed, and the user knows is not actually needed, cannot be uninstalled and insists on being noisy even when disabled. The user is left with no understanding of what's going on, and the UI prevents the user from figuring it out by not showing dependency information because it's disabled. I don't know how this gets fixed. I'm just adding my (awful) user experience as documentation to an existing issue on the same subject, so those more familiar with how to fix these can take it from there.

          +1. It's a trap! I am unable to remove this plugin too and i still see "yellow warning" about deprecation and it is very annoying.

          Thanks for your comments wavded and bigboban . Your "+1" is helpful to others because it allows them to see that multiple users are seeing the issue. Unfortunately, your "+1" is not helpful to you because others cannot duplicate the problem that you are seeing. If you provide your installation details (Jenkins version, list of plugins and their versions), there is a better chance that someone can help you and by helping you, they may also help others.

          AFAICT there are no inter-dependencies as it gives me the option to disable and remove the plugin (we don't use any Windows agents). I experience the same things mentioned prior. If I delete the plugin and restart. The warning comes back and the plugin is not deleted. If I disable the plugin, that persists over restarts, but the warning still shows.

disable and remove the plugin (we don't use any Windows agents). I experience the same things mentioned prior. If I delete the plugin and restart. The warning comes back and the plugin is not deleted. If I disable the plugin, that persists over restarts, but the warning still shows.

          wavded when I hover over the red "x" to uninstall WMI Windows Agents plugin, it shows that port allocator plugin has an implied dependency on it.

          Your alternatives are:

          • Remove port allocator plugin and the Android emulator plugin that depends on the port allocator plugin
          • Adopt the port allocator plugin, fix the open security issue, update the minimum Jenkins version it supports, and release a new version
          • Accept that WMI Windows Agents plugin can't be uninstalled until port allocator plugin and Android emulator are removed from your installation

          When I removed Android emulator plugin and port allocator plugin, I was able to remove WMI Windows Agents plugin. I confirmed that Jenkins restarts without reinstalling WMI Windows Agents plugin.

          Thanks markewaite , I must have missed that. I uninstalled the Android Emulator and Port Allocator plugins and was able to uninstall the windows slaves one. Thanks for your time and help.

          I know root cause of my problem - it is Scoring Load Balancer plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/scoring-load-balancer/). But it is a trap for me because this plugin seems abandoned and has no alternative. So i will have to look at "WMI deprecation warning" forever.

          I have the same issue, also using the Scoring Load Balancer. At least this explains why the uninstall didn't do anything...

          Maybe the plugin manager should make it impossible to uninstall if it's required? Right now it just says "may not be safe to uninstall" like in the issue's image.

          bigboban and sebastianhjelm you could persuade your employer to allow you or someone else at your company to adopt the scoring load balancer plugin. If your employer needs it, then they may be willing to contribute 2-3 days to improve the plugin so that a new version can be released that does not include the implied dependency on the WMI Windows Agents plugin.

          I did those steps with two other plugins based on the "Improve a Plugin" tutorial. See the saferestart plugin for one example.
