Deleting reports? If you want to delete a Blink Report but you're not sure report but are unsure which account it's being sent from, you can check the email itself. Look for the greeting phrase at the beginning of the email that says "Hi there {username}". The username mentioned in the greeting is the account name of the account from which the report is being sent. |
