Delete a Network

Required Tenable Vulnerability Management User Role: Scan Manager or Administrator

  • If you delete a network, assets that were in the deleted network still retain the network attribute.
  • Tenable Vulnerability Management retains any asset records for the deleted network until the assets age out of your licensed assets count. You can still filter for assets that use the deleted network.
