# Device - Unassigned Device Retention

For device types that are marked “End of Sale”, Uboss will delete any unassigned device 365 days after they have been unassigned and stores deleted devices for a further 730 days.

Any devices that do get removed can be easily re-added with the restore option for deleted devices. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/334a2c15-3e03-4702-a06b-0946461deedc/Images/Documentation/image%28464%29.png)

Importantly order history details are unaffected by this change, after a device has been deleted you are still able to search device orders for the MAC address if required. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/334a2c15-3e03-4702-a06b-0946461deedc/Images/Documentation/image%28465%29.png)
