Additional Information
Inactive devices won't be effected by "delete deregistered devices". They must first be marked as deregistered.
The idea behind that is to avoid a situation where a device that's still in the environment is missing in the console. Marking it as uninstalled/deregistering means the device has been confirmed as not in the environment anymore or that there is a desire to uninstall it. The next time a device marked as uninstalled/deregistered tries to check in - it will be uninstalled.
