Delete or Remove a Device

Topic

This article explains how to delete or remove a device in NinjaOne. 

Environment

NinjaOne Endpoint Management

Description

There are multiple methods for device removal in NinjaOne, either individually or in bulk. 

When you delete a device from NinjaOne, NinjaOne will automatically uninstall the RMM agent if the device is online and remove all device information from the console. If the device is offline at the time of deletion, it will remain in the update queue until the device is back online, but it will not appear in the console. Once the device is online, NinjaOne will proceed to uninstall the agent. 

Once you delete a device in NinjaOne, you will no longer be able to access data associated with this device. This action cannot be undone.

If you are trying to remove a mobile device managed by our NinjaOne Mobile Device Management (MDM) tool, refer to Mobile Device Uninstall Management.

Removing Backup Data

If you use NinjaOne Device Backup, NinjaOne will prompt you to delete your backup data. NinjaOne can only remove locally stored backup data when NinjaOne Device Backup is installed, active, and the machine is online. When you remove an individual agent's backup data, NinjaOne will display a warning dialog that indicates the local storage location, if there is one. When removing multiple agents, Ninja One will display a warning, but no location. Document the storage location if you wish to remove the locally stored data manually later. For more information about deleting backup data, refer to: NinjaOne Device Backup: Deleting Backup Data.
