How to Perform a Selective Wipe on an Intune-Managed Android Device

Introduction to Selective Wipe

When managing mobile devices in an organization, it is crucial to have the ability to selectively wipe company data from a device while leaving personal data and apps intact. This is where selective wipe comes into play, allowing IT administrators to maintain control over corporate information without compromising user privacy.

Performing a Selective Wipe on an Intune-Managed Android Device

When conducting a selective wipe on an Intune-managed Android device, there are specific outcomes that users can expect. For unmanaged line of business apps, the app data is removed, but the app itself is not uninstalled from the device.

This means that if there are any apps on the device that are not managed by Intune, the data associated with these apps will be wiped clean, but the apps will still be present on the device. This allows for a more targeted approach to data removal, ensuring that company information is protected while preserving personal apps that may be used for non-work purposes.

Final Thoughts

Performing a selective wipe on an Intune-managed Android device is a crucial step in protecting company data without compromising user experience. By understanding the specific outcomes of a selective wipe, IT administrators can ensure a secure and efficient data management process for their organization.
