Delete devices

This document shows how administrators can delete devices from the deviceinventory when they must temporarily stop syncing user-account data,such as installed extensions, bookmarks, and history to a device.

As an administrator, when you delete a device, the device no longer syncsuser-account data, but no information is removed from it. The device isadded back to the list after the next sync unless an access level blocks access.In this case, the device might require the administrator approval to sync dataagain.

Note: Deleting a device from the device inventory generally doesn't deleteuser-account data. To delete all data from a device, you canwipe the account from the device or wipe the entire device.

To delete a device, do the following:

  1. From the Admin console Home page, go toDevices.

    Go to Devices

  2. ClickEndpoints.
  3. For the device you want to delete, clickMore and selectDelete device.
  4. Optional: If you want to delete multiple devices, select all of the requireddevices, clickMore, and selectDelete devices.
