How do I remove the Android Enterprise bind from my current EMM?

If you need to unbind from your existing EMM, whether to -

• Move to another EMM
  • Related: Is it possible to bind with multiple EMMs at once?
• Start afresh with a new enterprise ID
  • If you're considering this because you can no longer access your existing bind, Google can assist. Escalate to your EMM who can in turn raise it as a partner ticket either through their BD or the Partner Portal. If the EMM is unhelpful, raise it in the Android Enterprise Customer Community & tag me (@jasonbayton).
  • If you're considering this because you want to use a new account to administer the bind, you don't need to!

Or any other perfectly valid reason, the steps to follow are straightforward.

Via your EMM

In the first instance, the simplest course of action is to unbind through your EMM. Here are some current links to this:

• Ivanti EPMM/MobileIron
• SOTI
• VMware Workspace One UEM
• Intune

Feel free to submit a PR with additional EMM articles!

Some platforms don't support removing the bind through EMM administrative settings. Some platforms, like SOTI, only unbind and don't delete the enterprise ID. This is useful for future rebinding if platforms support it, but otherwise it's another step in the process an organisation is forced to take to fully delete the bind.

Via Google Play admin settings

If the EMM platform doesn't support deleting the bind, or if you no longer have access to the EMM to do so, you can head to Google Play Enterprise admin settings to do so:

1. Head to Google Play Enterprise admin settings - https://play.google.com/work/adminsettings
2. Select the menu dots on the right of your organisation
3. Delete organisation
4. Confirm delete

Here's a handy GIF that runs through it:

With the bind removed, you're now ready to re-use the account to create a new bind with your existing or alternative EMM provider.
