Salutations @chris_extend!
Delighted to have you in the TeamViewer Community!
Are you looking for a way to delete devices from your Device list?
Or did I misunderstand your question?

Hi JeanK - thanks for the reply! It didn't answer it exactly. I'm looking for a way to manage Windows computers through TeamViewer remotely. For example if there is a way to lock a computer or wipe it completely through the admin console. Is that possible?

Hi @chris_extend,
Thank you for getting back to me!
Theoretically, if you possess a script that wipes a computer, you can execute the script remotely via TeamViewer Monitoring and Asset Management. We explain how to proceed here: Execute scripts remotely.
We also have a wipe function built into our TeamViewer Mobile Device Management, but as the name indicates, it is only possible to wipe mobile devices.
Regarding locking devices, when connected to a remote computer, you can lock them via the Actions menu.
Let me know if you have any further questions! I'll be happy to assist.

Thanks @JeanK ! Are there examples of scripts that have worked for other users to use within TeamViewer? I'm sure I'm not the only customer to encounter this issue.

Hi @chris_extend,
So far, I haven't come across any script that can do this specifically, but I'll keep you updated if anything pops up.
Maybe other users will see this post and also join the conversation.
I wish you a fantastic Winter holiday!
