How to remove registered clients from clients list
How do I remove old registered clients from the router (an internal table with device names/MAC addresses)? When creating a parental control, I get an enormous list of devices that aren't in the network any longer, on many pages. I want to rescan the network and eliminate those entries. How do I do that without a factory reset?
I don't mean removing devices from a parental control, I mean removing the decice registrations from the router internal tables so they don't appear as an option when creating a parental control.

@vijred thank for this. Is this the Tether app? I'm using it and don't have those screens. Also using v 4.4 (current)?

@PlastiBots, I use tp-link Deco app. This is the app recommended while installing the Router!

I came to the realization this isn't going to be fixed so I shifted to a whitelist, instead of a blacklist, it's a pain to setup, but once you get it going, and when new people/devices need to be added but, all parental controls work and MAC spoofing doesn't work. When it's a whitelist, everything is blocked by default and you have to allow the devices to connect, a blacklist allows everything and you have to block what you don't want to connect. If you want a smart phone (droid or Apple) to connect, you need to turn off MAC spoofing in the device for your home network.
Whitelist doesn't work if you want to block IOT devices from the internet but allow their use on the LAN. Blocking them with the Blacklist or omitting them from the Whitelist renders them unusable. Just trying to keep dozens of devices from phoning home to China

Today I was able to remove clients, by adding them to the static ip list, and deleting them using the trashcan icon.
I hit "helpful" but had to go back and change it. Didn't work for me on A6. Still in choices for Parental Control. I now have 14 (x5) entries - most "unknown"

I can't delete clients in the web interface, but in the telephone app I can block an online client and then it also dissapears from the web interface. I can re-find the client in a list of blocked client and un-block it again.
The app also have a list of offline clients. From the list I can choose to remove all offline clients. When this is done, they are gone and can not be recovered.
So in general I don't see the same problem.
This works with Deco X20 and Deco X60

I don't see that option in the Android app but I have an A6. Just in case, what should I look under?

It is 2024. Is there a solution to delete the device list?

FOUR years and still no change?? Still no option to delete defunct devices?
Come on TP-Link, this is beyond a joke!
