The monitoring data related to a given robot and its probes will remain until the data is 'aged out' which is based on the data_engine retention settings for QOS data, e.g., raw data and historical data, and nas NiS bridge settings for alarms.
You can also remove 'devices' in UMP through the UMP Inventory node. That could include robots.

Your reports will be populated with the old data as long as it still exists and has not been aged out/deleted from the backend database tables.
