Remove a worker

Remove a worker from stored configuration before deleting its machine.

Prerequisites

Instance admin access and another configured worker of the same kind.

Procedure

1. Open Configuration > Workers, select the worker, choose Delete, and confirm.
2. Wait for its running attempts and retained recovery work to finish. Removal stops new admissions but keeps the attempts’ original connection for cleanup.
3. For a fixed machine, delete it at its provider after confirming no retained checkout needs recovery. Provisioned workers perform a final sweep using their retained provider credentials.

Check the result

The worker leaves the scheduler after its last attempt ends. If Worker not configured reports that the worker is not in Configuration > Workers and still has retained attempts, restore the worker for recovery or use Discard leftovers only after checking the consequences. Failed remote deletion remains visible in logs.
