# What does "A request for this Mac was already sent very recently" mean?

You've already asked us to erase the records for this Mac a short time ago. That request is in the queue, so there's nothing more to do — sending it again wouldn't speed it up.

If you need to follow up, email support@storagestudio.us with the code shown.
