Currently there does not seem to be anyway to delete a Gateway or a data source. Due to changes in the location of the data source I have added additional data sources. The old ones are not needed. Why can't I delete them. Also the Gateway itself - If I move this I need to be able to delete the old one.

You can already do this. If you're an admin on the Gateway, have over the name of the Data Source or Gateway, you can see "..." , click on it and it will give you an option to delete/Remove them.

I have this issue as well. If the gateway is offline (or dead), you cannot select to Delete it.

This is not working. Please provide a screenshot where exactly to find the Magic button to delete a Gateway Connection. I do now have several dead Gateways in my subscription from decommissioned Servers. This makers managing the gateways a nightmare.

This is absolutely necessary urgently.

That was nearly impossible to see - I had to Google to get here! Better colour contrast of background and "..." needed.

But references to old gateways are still there and you have to delete the data sets. It would be nice if you could change to another gateway. There should be an option like "Delete gateway and all references to data sets. The following data sets will be affected ......."

RE: Delete Gateways and Gateway Datasources

I get a popup notification on the app for an update of the gateway. When I try to update it can't find the gateway. I've reset the gateway which made things worse since it's not connected to my WiFi anymore. When i re-login again it immediately gives me a popup for the update even if the gateway is unplugged. I need to remove my gateway so i can start the process with a different account. Because using the current one gives me the update popup and I can't use the app until i update
