Endpoint Management Asset Inventory - Purging Inventory History

Inventory data can accumulate over a period of time, increasing the Endpoint Management database size and slowing down the inventory reporting process. To maintain database efficiency, you should purge the historical inventory data regularly. This process of deleting unwanted, obsolete inventory data is called purging the inventory history.
