The delete action is also available in the device view - Users - User Profiles.

BitLocker Recovery Key view

For customers with BitLocker MBAM integrated with Configuration Manager we will now allow you to view the BitLocker Recovery Key in Advanced Insights. Users must have the relevant permission in their Advanced Insights role. The key is accessible via the Device View - Hardware - Disks tab.
