Step 2 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Change Audit > Delete Change History. The Change Audit---Filter Options dialog box appears.
Step 3 Select the views and devices, then click Next to apply additional filters or click Finish to delete the selected device change information. The Change Audit---Delete Change History dialog box appears.

Step 2 Delete one or more images from the image library by selecting the corresponding check boxes, then clicking Delete. A dialog box displays the following options:
Step 1 To display the Job Control Report select Resource Manager Essentials > Software Management > Job Management > Browse Jobs.
Step 2 Click the ID of the job you want to delete.
Step 3 Click Remove.
Step 1 If you have not already done so, run an unexpected device report (select Resource Manager Essentials > Syslog Analysis > Unexpected Device Report).
Step 2 Review the report to determine which devices have been added to the network, but not to inventory.
Step 3 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Inventory > Add Devices. The Add a Single Device dialog box appears.
Step 4 Enter the access information in the Add a Single Device dialog box, then click Next. Enter Login Authentication information.
Step 5 Enter and verify the passwords in the Add Passwords dialog box, then click Next. The Enter Enable Authentication Information dialog box appears.
If the device is running TACACS, enter the Enable TACACS username and Enable TACACS password.

Step 7 To add another device, click Add Another and repeat steps Step 4 through Step 6.
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Configuration Management > General Setup. The Configuration Manager Admin dialog box appears.
Step 2 Select the Archive Setup tab.
To specify when to purge configuration files from the archive, select one or both of the following:
Step 3 Click Apply. A message shows that the changes to the archive were made.
After you perform maintenance tasks, verify that they were done:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Change Audit > Search Change Audit. The Change Audit - Filter Options dialog box appears.
Step 2 Select All Views and All Devices, then click Next. A second Change Audit - Filter Options dialog box appears.
Step 3 Select All from the Application field, Category field, User field, and Mode field, then select the dates for which you removed records, and then click Finish.
The Change Audit - Search report appears. No records for your dates should be displayed.
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Software Management > Library > Browse Images. The Image Summary Report opens.
Step 2 Scan the report to make sure that the software images you deleted are gone.
Step 1 Display the Job Control Report by selecting Resource Manager Essentials > Software Management > Job Management > Browse Jobs.
Step 2 Verify that the job you deleted is no longer on the report.
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Administration > Inventory > List Devices. The List Devices dialog box appear.
Step 2 Click Managed Devices.
Step 3 Verify that the devices you just added appear on the list.
Because the configurations are removed from the archive on a schedule, it is not necessary to verify the removals each time the job runs.
