Removing workloads from the Cyber Protect console
You can remove from the Cyber Protect console the workloads that you do not need to protect anymore. The procedure depends on the workload type.
Alternatively, you can uninstall the agent on the protected workload. When you uninstall an agent, the protected workload is automatically removed from the Cyber Protect console.
When you remove a workload from the Cyber Protect console, all plans that are applied to that workload are revoked. Removing a workload does not delete any plans or backups, and does not uninstall the protection agent.
The following table summarizes the workload types and required actions.
