Removing OSGi business level application from WebSphere Application Server

Application artifacts can sometimes remain in a server instance after a failed publish or removal step. The remaining artifacts can block subsequent attempts to publish an application. Usually, the publishing tool rolls back unsuccessful operations but occasionally you might need to manually remove artifacts.
