Orphaned Device from Deleted Application - Unable to Re-register

End Devices (Nodes) Hardware
1

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with orphaned devices from a deleted application blocking new device registrations.

Situation:

  • Deleted application: ct74e3bbe8641245889a57cbc6c1d15f2b

  • Orphaned device still registered in the system:

    • Device ID: device-1774410442638

    • DevEUI: 2C F7 F1 C0 73 30 AA 09

    • JoinEUI: 69 D2 8C 8A 67 41 53 78

Problem:
When trying to register new devices (SenseCAP LoRaWAN sensors) in a new application, I receive this error:
“An end device with JoinEUI 69D28C8A67415378 and DevEUI 2CF7F1C07330AA09 is already registered as device-1774410442638 in application ct74e3bbe8641245889a57cbc6c1d15f2b”

The issue is that the application has been deleted, so:

  • I cannot access it via the Console (no rights)

  • I cannot delete the device via API (returns “no rights for application”)

  • The device identifiers remain locked and block any re-registration

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

it seems that all devices bound to an application doesnt get deleted when the application is.

this is what i call a BUG.

maybe there is a dialog missing to transfer the devices before the application gets deleted OR that the deletion of an application is blocked as long as there are still devices bound to it.

you are better off to contact the support. they should be able to delete the devices from the databases.

Solved by forcing a new JoinEUI in the device.
