Delete devices from OpenManage Enterprise
NOTE:
● A device on which a profile is assigned cannot be deleted unless the profile is unassigned from it. For more information,
see Unassign profiles on page 80.
● A device can be deleted even when tasks are running on it. Any tasks initiated on a device fails if the device is deleted
before the completion of the tasks.
To delete the discovered devices:
1. In the left pane, select the devices.
2. In the devices list, select the check box corresponding to the devices, and then click Delete.

The device is deleted and not anymore monitored by OpenManage Enterprise.
After device deletion, all onboarding information corresponding to the deleted devices is removed. The user credential
information is automatically deleted if it is not shared with other devices. If OpenManage Enterprise was set as a trap
destination on a remote device that has been deleted, you can remove OpenManage Enterprise from the remote device.
