QA Notes:

This occurred because the declaration profile was deleted from the Fleet UI before it could get installed, causing the uninstall to fail (in this case get stuck in pending). I was able to fix by re-uploading the broken profile and going thru the workflow again but waiting/confirming the declaration was installed on the host before deleting/removing.

We saw a similar issue with mdm config profiles and fixed it here #21891

I've created a separate issue to track and fix for declarations (ddm) #22976
