This page explains the various options provided by Lansweeper Sites to manage your inventory. You will also find information on where to locate these options and gain insight into their specific functionalities.
Once an asset is scanned and added to your inventory, Lansweeper will not remove it unless instructed to do so.
You can either manually delete old assets, or have them deleted automatically using several cleanup rules.
Asset cleanup rules and user cleanup rules are managed separately: enabling asset cleanup rules in Lansweeper Sites will only disable asset rules in Lansweeper On-prem; enabling user cleanup rules in Lansweeper Sites will only disable user cleanup rules in Lansweeper On-prem.
