Remove storage

POST
/storage/remove

Overview#

Remove a device's Storage designation, preventing it from receiving new encrypted data. The device itself remains registered and can still function in other roles.

Remove Storage#

Endpoint: POST /storage/remove
Authentication: Required (Authorization token obtained from the step)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Request Parameters#

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
deviceIdentifierstringYesThe unique identifier of the Storage device to remove

Use Case#

Use this endpoint to deregister a device as Storage while keeping the device itself registered under your profile. After removal:
The device stops receiving new encrypted data for data token exchanges
Existing encrypted data on the device remains stored locally
The device can no longer participate in data retrieval operations
The device can still function as an Authenticator if configured
The device profile remains active for other operations
This is useful when:
You want to retire a Storage device without removing the device entirely
Storage capacity needs to be shifted to other devices
A device should remain as Authenticator only
Temporarily suspending a device's storage role
Only the Storage designation is removed - the device remains registered
Existing encrypted data on the device becomes inaccessible without the full decryption chain
The device stops receiving new data immediately
Use device removal endpoint to completely remove the device from your profile
Device can be re-registered as Storage later if needed
