I seem to recall i could just click on the edit device and then delete but i don't seem to see a delete button anymore. I've attempted to remove the old integration and the device objects still exist. prefer to do it bulk but i'll have to do it one by one if needed.

for context i have alexa media player integration and i had to re-create it but now it has double the devices. but really the same goes for any other device on any integration.

#

I don't mind if the devices get re-created. obviously if they exist within an integration then they likely should need to be pulled back in. but this is more specific to maybe "orphaned devices"

I don't believe we allow users to just delete devices generally, it's up to the integration.
If the integration doesn't provide some specific way to delete device, then you would have to remove the entire config entry that contains that device.

I thought it was a universal thing that you can delete devices that no longer appear to be provided from an integration? I don't know how that's determined though. It seemed like if it was just unavailable for some period

I know that's for entities, I can't recall if I've ever seen an "unprovided device"

Ah I am mixing things up a bit you're right. But I still thought device deletion was universal under some circumstances

Looking at the frontend, I see there is a delete button coded for the device page, but it is only shown if a supports_remove_device flag is set in the integration entry.
