If you no longer want to use a collection of settings for devices running Lync Phone Edition, delete it. If you delete a collection for a site, the global settings will apply to the phones in that site. You cannot delete the global collection.

Note

Instead of deleting a collection, you might just want to change some of the settings. For details about how to do so, see Create or modify a collection of Lync Phone Edition configuration settings in Lync Server 2013.

To delete a collection of Lync Phone Edition configuration settings

From a user account that is assigned to the CsUserAdministrator role or the CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.
Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server 2013 administrative tools.
In the left navigation bar, click Clients, and then click the Device Configuration navigation button.
On the Device Configuration page, click the collection you want to delete, click the Edit menu, and then click Delete.

Note

If you delete the global collection, the settings just revert to the default settings. The collection does not go away.
In the confirmation box, click OK.
