Device class and device class subgroup management.

A device class describes a set of devices which share a common set of attributes across groups while a device class subgroup is a subset of devices in a group that share the same device class id. Device classes are created automatically when Device Update-enabled devices are connected to the hub.

az iot du device class delete

Delete a device class or device class subgroup.

Device classes are automatically created when Device Update-enabled devices are connected to the hub but are not automatically cleaned up since they are referenced by device class subgroups. If all device class subgroups for a target device class are deleted then the device class itself can also be deleted to remove the records from the system and to stop checking the compatibility of the device class with new updates. If a device is ever reconnected its device class will be re-created if it does not exist.

az iot du device class delete --account
                              --cid
                              --instance
                              [--gid]
                              [--resource-group]
                              [--yes {false, true}]
