I have two control-ui instances shown in the controlpanel. My openclaw version is v2026.04.14, the newer instance is 2026.4.14 and the older is 2026.3.24-beta.2. What sould I do? Should I delete the older one and if yes, so how do I do it?

If you mean the Instances section in Control UI, I would not rush to delete it.
That list is just presence data, and stale entries should age out after about 5 minutes. So first try:
- close any old Control UI tabs/browser windows
- refresh the page
- wait ~5 minutes
If the old 2026.3.24-beta.2 entry is still there after that, it’s probably an old paired browser/device entry. Then yes, you can remove it:
openclaw devices list
openclaw devices remove <deviceId>
Use devices list to find the old device ID first. I would not use devices clear unless you want to re-pair everything.
Docs:
- Control UI: https://docs.openclaw.ai/web/control-ui
- Devices CLI: https://docs.openclaw.ai/cli/devices
- Presence behavior: https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/presence
If you want, paste the output of openclaw devices list here and I can tell you which one is safe to remove.
