Remove: This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI

Configuration

The Bluetooth LE Tracker integration (from configuration.yaml). This creased a large number of entities device_tracker.ble_....

I then removed the integration from configuration.yaml. Unfortunately the entities it created are still there. How can I delete them also? The select button is grayed out, and clicking the entity displays

This entity ... does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.

I tried to also delete known_devices.yaml - the entities are still there!

Have you tired putting the integration back and deleting the entities before deleting the integration?

If that does not work then it needs fixing and you should open an issue here:

@ttmetro How did you solve this issue. I’m having the same problem with switch entities that I defined in SNMP via yaml. If I delete them from the yaml file, they are still in the entity list, but I can’t edit or delete them.

I don’t remember. But generally

  • reinstall HA
  • edit .storage

Both are equally stupid. But so is no delete button …
