Delete Automated Tasks

You can delete an Automated Task from a single device or multiple devices. Task deletions apply to all selected devices, including offline or overdue devices. Changes are communicated the next time the devices check in to the N-sight RMM user interface.

Delete an Automated Task from a single device

In the All Devices view, right-click the device in the North-pane.
Select Task > Delete.
From the list of tasks, select the Task you want to delete, and then select Next.
In Delete Task Device Confirmation, confirm the device where you want to delete the task.
Select Delete Task.
Select OK to confirm the deletion.

Delete an Automated Task from multiple devices

You can delete Automated Tasks in bulk for selected devices or at the Client or Site level.

Select the devices where you want to delete the Automated Task:
- Multiple devices in the North-pane: Use Shift + select for a range or Ctrl + select for specific devices. Right-click one of the selected devices and choose Task > Delete.
  The selected devices must use the same operating system for the Task option to display.
- Client or Site level: In the Client List of the All Devices view, right-click the target Client or Site, choose Task > Delete, and then filter tasks by servers or workstations.
Select the task you want to delete, and then select Next.
Confirm the devices in the Delete Task Device Confirmation prompt.
Select Delete Task.
Select OK to confirm the deletion.

Bulk deletion limits and recommendations

You can delete a task from up to 2,000 devices at a time.
To manage more than 2,000 devices running an identical task (same configuration, schedule, and descriptive name), create similar tasks with different descriptive names and apply them to smaller groups.
Example:
- Clean All Temp Files - Batch 1
- Clean All Temp Files - Batch 2
Use multi-select and the Device Context Menu to edit Automated Tasks across multiple devices and change the descriptive name before deletion.
