For Storage devices, removal does not delete data already stored on the device. However, since the device is no longer part of the decryption chain, that data becomes inaccessible. When data is requested via token, Privicore will not route requests to removed devices.Removal is permanent - the device must re-register to regain access
Storage devices lose access to new data immediately
Authenticator devices stop receiving voting ballots
Existing encrypted data on removed Storage devices cannot be decrypted without the full chain
Use when a device is lost, compromised, or no longer trusted
