Then the Widget Update code was run to install the new widgets from the new server/catalog/category. For widgets that are now duplicated on the client: I assume the id attribute of the palleteItem elements in the widgets that were duplicated do not match. For example, the Updates widget in the old catalog has a different id than the Updates widget from the new catalog. If this is the case, then you will have duplicate widgets installed. How to remove the old widgets A. For widgets that are duplicated (were in the old and new catalog): Solution 1: Change the ID of the widget in the new catalog to match the ID of the old widget. Upon catalog replication/widget update execution, you should only have one widget installed. Can you tell me the IDs of the two Updates widgets? Solution 2: Add old widget to the new catalog and new category so it gets deployed to end users as a managed widget. Wait for it to be deployed to the clients (replication/widget update) and then remove it from the category or catalog. When it is removed from the category or catalog and then replication/widgets update occurs, it will be removed from the clients. Solution 3: User removes the old widgets manually - right-click on the widget in My Widgets sidebar panel and choose Remove. B. For widgets that are not duplicated (were in the old and are not in new catalog): Solution 1: Add old widget to the new catalog and new category so it gets deployed to end users as a managed widget. Wait for it to be deployed to the clients (replication/widget update) and then remove it from the category or catalog. When it is removed from the category or catalog and then replication/widgets update occurs, it will be removed from the clients. Solution 2: User removes the old widgets manually - right-click on the widget in My Widgets sidebar panel and choose Remove.
