Fresh start

Cleaning the device will remove all preloaded Win32 apps. You can choose whether to retain user data on the device and whether you are sure you want to clean the device:

You can also set the following options:

  • Keep the device AAD joined.
  • A device is enrolled in MDM again when an AAD-enabled user signs in to the device.
  • Keep the contents of the device user's Home folder, and remove any apps and settings.

    Important Note

    If you do not retain user data, the device will be restored to the default OOBE completed state, retaining the built-in administrator account. That account is disabled by default on Windows Autopilot devices and you can find yourself in a situation where you are not able to sign in to the device.

    BYOD devices will be unenrolled from AAD and MDM. AAD-joined devices will be enrolled in MDM again when an AAD-enabled user signs in to the device.
