A grey agent is an agent that has a healthservice that is failing to heartbeat. I cannot imagine deleting agents simply because they are unhealthy and need operational review.
If you want to delete agents that have not checked in, in “X” number of days, you could potentially write a powershell script that deletes agents who have not checked in in a given amount of time, but if the last state change is groomed out of the database that might be difficult. You can get this information from a report/SQL query, such as found in http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2008/06/27/which-servers-are-down-in-my-company-and-which-just-have-a-heartbeat-failure-right-now.aspx. Theoretically you could script the names into an array and then delete them based on a date filter.

I've been looking for a way to delete grey agents but haven't been able to find a way to script it. What's the best automated way to do this task? Thanks, Cesar [Inline image 1]
