Deleting Packages from SOTI MobiControl

About this task

Remove unused or outdated packages from SOTI MobiControl to free up space on the database and improve performance. These steps only remove packages from the web console and its database. Packages created within Package Studio projects remain unaffected.
Tip: To further reduce the database's size and optimize server performance:
Important: Deleting packages from the web console does not remove them from the devices they are deployed to. Revoking the profile containing the package removes them if:
  • During the profile assignment, you enabled the Advanced > Package Options > Uninstall package contents upon profile revocation or deletion option.
  • During package creation, you enabled the Do not uninstall the file option.

If either condition is false, you must remove the files and applications from devices using the console or do so manually.
