Is it possible to remotely remove a previously downloaded map in Field Maps? 

There is a setting in Field Maps Desktop to Hide the Map. Doing this will remove the map from the group's folder, but the map is still accessible in the "On Device" section. We've tried deleting the map area and changing the sharing status to owner only, but the map is still accessible in the On Device section after trying these as well. 

Right now, it looks like the only way to remove an already downloaded map is to do it manually, but it'd be nice if there was an option do to it remotely. Does anyone know of a way that this can be done?

Thanks!

Hi @JoshSmithWCWD 

Unfortunately, there is no way to remotely achieve this as far as I am aware, unless you connect the phone to a computer and access the folder that way. The best method is to go to the app on the device in your settings and clear the storage this should remove anything that is stored on the phone. 

*Please note*

It will remove all projects stored on the device. 

Even if the map has changed ownership or made so it shouldn't be visible it shouldn't be accessible and should through back an error message.
