Once at least one workunit has been sent to a computer it cannot be deleted. As "CR" said, the only other way to get rid of a computer that has had workunits sent to it is to merge it with another computer. You have your computers hidden so there is no way we can tell if you will be able to merge or delete one of your computers.

If the computers are different you cannot merge them. I had two puters
put on by accident One returned 1 unit and the other did not return a unit.

Niether can be merged or deleted. I wish we could deletet them. If
only for good housekeeping.

Again you can merge a puter if it is the same in every detail.
