Hi pc-88​, To the best of my knowledge and experience, without Autopilot involved, there is no implication to the order of deletes of these objects.

Thanks. And just to confirm, if you are using Autopilot, is this the correct order?

  1. delete device in Intune
  2. delete device in Autopilot (if present)
  3. delete device in Entra

    That's correct but only if you are completely retiring or reprovisioning the device (or you are 100% sure the objects are stale and in no way correspond to a device going forward).
