Description
Scenario:
I install visual studio test agents.
It depends on VirtualCloneDrive - only for the the install to mount an ISO.
VirtualCloneDrive leaves a shortcut on the desktop and I'd like to remove any excess virtual drivers that aren't necessarily tested in cloud environments.
Doing "choco uninstall" gives a message that it cannot be removed because something depends on it.
In this case I know the dependency was only for installation, so I would like to remove it anyway.
Let me know if there is a work around. However, even if there is a work around -ignoredependencies might be easier to find and a little more consistent with "choco install" ?
