Hello,
when we delete a sensor or monitor device, how is that information erased from the databases?
Or do we need to perform some purge procedure?
Thank you.

Hey Sandro,
Thanks for your KB-posting.
Once you have deleted a sensor/device/group, PRTG will automatically delete the associated monitoring data files within the next 10 minutes (this runs in a background-task).
So, there is no need to perform any additional purge procedure afterwards.
Best regards,
Sven
