Wiping Devices

About this task

Note: Some restrictions apply:
  • Devices where SOTI MobiControl manages only a portion of the device such as Android devices with managed profiles cannot be wiped completely.
  • Supervised iOS devices must disable or bypass Activation Lock before wipes are successful.

To remove data from your devices:

    • Platform Notification Service sends the message through the device's native messaging service.
  4. If applicable, expand the warning message at the bottom of the dialog box to see which of the selected devices cannot be wiped and why.
