The SuperAgent repository is deleted and removed from the repository list. However, the agent still

Creating and configuring FTP, HTTP, and UNC repositories
Use these tasks to host distributed repositories on existing FTP, HTTP servers or UNC shares. Although
you do not need to use a dedicated server, the system should be powerful enough for the desired
number of managed systems to connect for updates.

86 McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator
Ensure that all packages required by any managed system using this
repository are selected. Managed systems go to one repository for all
packages — the task fails for systems that are expecting to find a
package type that is not present. This feature ensures packages that are
used only by a few systems are not replicated throughout your entire
environment.
To delete a limited number of your existing SuperAgent distributed
repositories, duplicate the McAfee Agent policy assigned to these
systems and deselect Use systems running SuperAgents as distributed repositories
before saving it. Assign this new policy as needed.
