How to remove, retract, uninstall ActivityApplication with or without powershell

Question

I have been developing a solution which has a web part and allows users to post photos and links to the newsfeeds of colleagues in SharePoint 2010's MySites, the social network with SP2010. With testing and errors and such, I now have some applications people can follow in their newsfeed settings which I would like to uninstall. Retracting and Uninstalling the application with powershell did not do the trick. Does anyone else have any ideas.

I have searched extensively but as most know, the very detailed things get drowned out by all the other stuff on SP2010 in Google. Thanks ahead of time.

Yup. And now, even with a reboot, it says it is retracting a solution so cannot perform any other installs or uninstalls... EECK! — Anthony Graglia, Jul 05 '11 at 06:39

I found a solution:

Run "cmd"

cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\BIN
stsadm.exe -o enumdeployments

Get job ID

stsadm.exe -o canceldeployment -id "GUID jobId"
