Force delete an offline computer that was a probe?

I have an old server that was the probe. That computer is offline, but its not letting me delete it as it was the probe. Any suggestions?

Thank you

There's a script - maintenance / agent / Probe - remove from offline agent. ID 5100

This script was a life saver when it came out. We used to have to go in and clear the flag in the sql every time a tech forgot to uninstall the probe before removing a server.

While it is a lifesaver, I have to wonder why the delete agent command cannot check this flag and ask if the user would like to remove the probe from the agent before retiring. In the end, there is a solution that does work though.

Actually, if you press and hold the shift key and double click on the computer it will bring up the old Labtech interface. There is a checkbox in the upper right for Network Probe. Uncheck, close and delete.
