You can delete entities that you have manually created, and those that were discovered automatically by the system.

Before you begin

If the entity was automatically discovered, it must be offline or inactive (shown in red) before you can delete it.

What you should know

  • If you delete a parent entity that has entities underneath it in the entity tree, those entities are also deleted.
  • By default, users who are allowed to delete cameras can simultaneously delete any associated video archives. If you do not want archives to be deleted when users delete cameras, deny the user or user group the Delete cameras and associated video archives privilege.
    NOTE: This does not apply when removing a camera from an Auxiliary or Remote Site Archiver. The user will have the option to delete the video archives from those roles even without the privilege.

Procedure

  1. In the entity view of any task, select the entity.
  2. At the bottom of the window, click Delete ().
  3. In the confirmation dialog box that appears, click Delete.
    If more than one copy of the entity exists, the other copies stay until they are deleted.
