Important correction (August 25, 2026): The original article incorrectly implied that the NSX Edge Removal Tool preserves attached dependencies and that dependencies could be addressed after removal. Broadcom’s current instructions require administrators to remove or disconnect added services, interfaces, segments, and other dependencies before running the cleaner. The tool must not be used for an Edge cluster serving Workload Control Plane (WCP).
The old direct-download link, version-specific filename, executable command, and post-removal dependency workflow have been removed so they cannot be mistaken for current instructions.
Use the replacement article instead: Safely Removing an SDDC Manager-Deployed NSX Edge Cluster from VCF. It verifies that the deployment is in scope, checks the current tool and hash directly in Broadcom KB 316110, removes dependencies first, and performs a dry run before any deletion.
This historical URL remains available so existing bookmarks and external links lead to the corrected guidance. For host-level package cleanup rather than Edge cluster removal, see Safely Removing Stale NSX VIBs from an ESXi Host.
