Deleting devices

If one or several devices should not make part of your fleet any longer, you should delete them from the system.

This action is different from temporarily suspending the connectivity of some devices, when you need to reactivate them later on. To learn more about suspending/resuming operations, see Suspending and resuming device connectivity.

You may either delete devices one by one (unitary deletion), or in bulk through the csv import operation.

Unitary deletion of a device

1. In the left panel, select Devices, then search for the device you want to delete.

2. Do one of the following:

   • From the device's detailed dashboard, click at the top right corner of the page.

   • From the device list, click in the last column of the table, then select Delete.

3. Confirm the action by clicking DELETE in the confirmation pop-up.

-> A status message appears to indicate the result of the operation. When the device is deleted, this action is logged in the Notifications list, accessible from the top bar of the user interface by clicking .

Bulk deletion

To delete a large number of devices, without removing them one by one, follow the steps below:

1. Fom the left panel, select Devices, then click IMPORT DEVICES from the top-right corner of the page.
   You can also expand IMPORT DEVICES and select Import from CSV file.

2. Prepare your .csv import file, as described in Device deletion.

3. When your CSV file is ready, click to upload it then click Import.

4. From the top-right corner of the user interface, click to access the Notifications list. To learn more, click About device notifications.

5. If the mass import has not succeeded, analyze and correct errors in the .CSV file then re-import the file.
