Maintaining your Mews Connector integration setups
When you uninstall Mews connector setups from your machine, Mews Operations does not delete them automatically. You can learn more about uninstalling the Mews Connector application here.
You must keep your DeviceHubs page up to date by deleting old setups when removing an existing connector integration setup. This prevents any confusion when troubleshooting errors. Note: Mews displays the error message “DeviceHub Initialization Failed!” when there are more than 10 versions of Mews Connector in DeviceHubs. To resolve this, delete older versions of Mews Connector from DeviceHubs.

- In Mews Operations, go to the main menu
> Marketplace > My subscriptions.
- Locate the Mews Connector integration. Click on Edit to go to the settings page.
- On the top right corner, click on
Delete.
- To confirm deletion, click Delete.
