# How to Remove an Agent

## How to Remove an Agent

If you wish to delete an Agent, archTIS recommends you remove the Agent (from its Target) instead.

-   **Important!** If you delete an agent, you cannot simply re-add it later. While it is technically possible to undelete an agent, archTIS strongly recommends you do not delete agents.
-   -   To enable the deleted Agent you must manually open the registry and remove the endpoint ID (ID of the Agent), before Spirion Sensitive Data Platform can create a new one.
-   **Note**: Spirion Sensitive Data Platform cannot merge endpoints (Agents) once they’ve been deleted — the platform treats the new endpoint (Agent) as completely separate.

To remove an Agent (from a Target):

1.  On the **Agent Management** page, locate the Agent you want to remove.
2.  On the far right of the row, click the more options menu.
