You can delete assignments if they are no longer needed. In the Horizon Universal Console, locate the assignment you want to delete by clicking Assignments and using the displayed choices to navigate to the applicable assignments page where that assignment is listed. Then delete that assignment using the Remove action or Delete action, depending on which action is available in that particular assignments page. The Delete action is typically located under the More menu (More > Delete).
The specific steps for deleting an assignment from your environment vary depending on the assignment type. The table below describes the steps you take on the assignment when you have already navigated to the applicable console page on which that assignment is listed.
Tip: The console is dynamic and reflects the workflows and settings that are appropriate for the up-to-the-moment situation in your Horizon Cloud tenant environment. The labels displayed for the console's assignment-related pages will vary depending on factors such as the tenant's configured brokering setting, the types of cloud-connected pods in your fleet, the tenant's regional cloud plane, and features that are based on specific licensing.
| Assignment Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Floating VDI desktop assignment | Select the assignment and click More > Delete. When you confirm the deletion, the system starts deleting the desktop VMs. You can use the Activity page to monitor the deletion process. As the system deletes the desktop VMs, it marks all of the VMs as not brokerable, which prevents new end user connections during the deletion process. For any desktop VMs that have existing end user connections, the console will display a warning to you that those sessions will be terminated. The connected end users will not get a warning in their desktops. Note: Do not manually delete desktop VMs in a floating VDI desktop assignment from the assignments Desktops tab. When you manually delete a desktop VM from a floating VDI desktop assignment, the system's power management feature automatically creates a new desktop VM to take the place of the deleted one. To remove desktop VMs from a floating VDI desktop assignment, always edit the Min Desktops and Max Desktops values. |
| Dedicated VDI desktop assignment | To delete a dedicated VDI desktop assignment:

| Session desktop assignment | Select the assignment and click More > Delete. Because session desktop assignments are for entitling users to connect to the RDSH VMs in a farm, no VMs are actually deleted when you delete this assignment type. The assignment record is removed from the system. |
| Select the assignment and use the Remove or Delete action, depending on which one the console provides for that assignments-listing page. |
