Application Deployment - Uninstalling Applications

Within SCCM, we have structured Installs/Uninstalls so the single Application is Deployed at two different collections. One for the Install and one for the Uninstall (with the correct Action type for each).

Installs complete and report back centrally correctly. The uninstalls eventually happen on the clients, but I am unable to see if they have been successful remotely. When I check in Monitoring > Deployments > AppUninstall I see Errors for each device with the application "Rule is in conflict with other rules". Any PC that has completed the uninstall dissapears from this error screen but doesn't show up in the Success tab.

I'm guessing this could be because of the membership rule on the Uninstall collection:

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_AppClientState on SMS_G_System_AppClientState.MachineName = SMS_R_System.Name where SMS_G_System_AppClientState.ComplianceState = "1" and SMS_G_System_AppClientState.AppName = "AppName"

I've read this is the correct way to do uninstalls. Essentially when I add a PC/asset to the install collection and the install is complete, it self populates in the Uninstall collection as well. The uninstall doesn't run until you remove the asset from the Install collection.

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the "Rule is in conflict..." error, and why devices who have uninstalled the application do not appear in success?
