# Delete Unused Devices

To use Verkada Command, you need valid licenses for your devices and products. If you have unused devices or products, you can delete them to avoid exceeding your license cap. Follow the instructions below to delete unused devices and products.

Once your device has been deleted, all associated information, such as recorded history, will also be deleted. Please ensure you have backed up all required data before deletion.
