daily.

CAUTION:

Once a device is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Use this feature with caution.

Delete from Subview: Enables you to remove the selected device from its current subview and return
it to the parent view. Deleting the last device from the subview removes the subview from the

Delete Device from This View: Enables you to remove the selected device from the current view if the
device is not a member of any subview.

license.
