Erasing (Remote Wipe) an iPad

An iPad can be erased (remote wiped) individually, or in bulk.

To remote wipe an individual iPad, go to the Devcie Details tab for the device and select “Erase (Remote Wipe)” from the three-dot menu at the top right.

To remote wipe an iPad or group of iPads from the device list, select the iPads to erase from the device list of a device group, then select “Erase (Remote Wipe) from the three dot menu at the top right of the table.

Several options are available when erasing devices.

Setting	Description
Return to Service	Checking this option allows a device to automatically connect to Wi-Fi after being erased by sending the Wi-Fi information with the erase command. When used in conjunction with Automated Device Enrollment (ADE), devices can be wiped and re-enrolled without any user intervention, providing Zero-Touch Re-provisioning. This option is available on the device erase screen and works with iOS/iPadOS 17 or newer.
Clear activation lock if present before reset	Select this option to automatically clear activation lock if it is enabled for the device.
Delete device(s) from Securly MDM	Use this option when you do not plan to re-enroll the device into Securly MDM. This will ensure that the record for the device is removed from Securly MDM.
Preserve data plan	If the device has an active eSIM data plan, this option will ensure that the settings are preserved and restored to the device after reset.
Disallow proximity setup	Use this option to ensure that the device will automatically re-enroll through Automated Device Enrollment (if configured) and not provide an option for the device user to attempt to set it up by copying from a nearby device.
