@Vinod Survase, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

For the records in Intune, you can use "Device clean up rules" to remove inactive and stale device records. Here is a link with more details:

Hope the above information can help.

Hi Vinod,

As there are several devices are in the list, you can verify though the user. Please go to Azure Active Directory Admin Center-> Users->All Users-> Select the use for whom device was designated-> Then select 'Devices'->

From this option you can check if device is still showing in the device list and Take action accordingly.
