About Accessory profile deletion
Last updated April 24th, 2024
You can also delete an existing accessory profile. However, licenses play a key role in when the deletion occurs, spanning the following scenarios:
| Accessory ID (linked to active device) | Active license (linked to accessory profile) | Can you delete an accessory profile? |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes | No |
| No | No | Yes |
| N/A | N/A | Yes |
Once the profile is deleted, you can delete the associated accessory ID.
Additionally, a deleted profile also deletes the following assets:
- Any customized theme that is actively applied on the device. The default theme and wallpaper will be applied instead.
- Any custom booting and shutdown animation. The default Samsung logo will be applied instead.
