Please note that while Circle can import devices from MyZyxel portal, the database is independent of MyZyxel. If you have hardware you no longer wish to manage, you don't need to import it into Circle, also decommissioned hardware can be simply removed from Circle in the device's overview using the "Advanced Settings" button on the top of the screen.
