Can’t Remove Defender Tag After Asset Rule Was Deleted
Hi all,
I’m facing an issue where a rule-based tag in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint remains visible on devices even after I deleted the original asset rule.
The rule was disabled and deleted months ago, but the tag still appears under Rule-based tags in the device details.
Even using the API or PowerShell doesn’t show or remove it.
Is there any supported way to force a tag refresh or clear orphaned rule-based tags from the Defender portal?
Thanks in advance,
Luca
