Device removal

There might be some cases, in which you will want to delete some device from Xopero ONE platform. It may be useful to quickly delete all the data related to some device from all of your storage or just to free up the license that's being used by a device that doesn't have to be protected anymore. This article describes how to delete the device with and without the data.

The system will display a few additional options on the top bar, including the Delete button. Click it to delete the device.

Click the Remove button to proceed.

In case you decide to delete the backups along with the device, the system will ask you once again to confirm your will. Select I confirm I want to delete all backups of <deviceName>and click the Delete button.
