How to unmanage a device from NCM via the API

I'm working on some automation and have a scenario where when I add a device to NPM I do not want it added to NCM. I found a Swis verb for adding a node but not removing. I tried just deleting the node from the node database, but it leaves the inventory for that device intact. I haven't found a stored procedure either. Any ideas?

thanks

Yes, I have read all of that and been searching Thwack for awhile. The closest I have found is adding a node to NCM.

Ben,

Just to be clear -- you are trying to add a new node (not in the DB yet) via SDK/API and only want the node to be added to Core database, not NCM, right?

Sorry, let me clarify. The API for adding nodes leaves some to be desired so I'm updating a discovery profile to add missing nodes. When I add them this way it makes it 10 times easier to assign the correct pollers, the catch is it automatically creates them in NCM. For the majority of the nodes this is ok, but there are some scenarios that I have come across where I need to "unmanage" a node from NCM and have it clean out any collected information.
