How to Release Aniimo: Storage and Bulk-Selection Checks

Player guides / Checked October 15, 2026

Open Aniimo Management → Manage, select the unwanted individual, then Release and review the final list before confirming. Filtering only changes which Aniimo you see. Published September guides show a warning that training materials are not returned by release, so move useful training first if you intend to keep it.

Unofficial guide based on the dated sources below. No gameplay, purchase or account test by this site.

• Keep the individuals you still use for combat, exploration or Homeland work, even if their Potential rating is low.
• If you want a better copy to receive existing progress, inspect Inherit first; releasing the trained source is a different operation.
• Mark useful individuals as Favorites before a large cleanup, then still inspect the final release list.

Both illustrated guides describe Favorites being refused by Release. Treat that as an additional check, not a substitute for reading your current selection and confirmation. This site has not tested protection exceptions.

1. Open Aniimo Management; the September PC guide reports P. Use the current on-screen control on console or mobile.
2. If narrowing a large collection, distinguish Rating (Potential grade) from Rarity/Form. A low rating alone does not make a useful worker disposable.
3. Choose Manage and select the intended individual. For a bulk operation, inspect the scope of the displayed selection control and uncheck everything you want to keep.
4. Press Release to open the Released Aniimo List. Review its portraits, total and warning; cancel if any selected individual is unexpected.
5. Confirm only when that final list matches your intended cleanup, then check the resulting free storage space.

The September 25 AllThingsHow illustrated sequence and September 16 AniimoGuide walkthrough agree on filtering, Manage and a separate release confirmation. We reviewed their published UI explanations, not the original videos or a current console button binding.

The September walkthrough describes release-grade toggles while reporting catches at an Outpost’s Research Console. Those affect the report workflow, not just the storage screen’s filter. Check the toggles before advancing a report, particularly if you want to retain a low-rated worker or collectible.

This guide does not recommend enabling a permanent automatic cleanup rule for every player. A manual small selection is easier to inspect when you are still learning which forms and workers you need.

Did applying a filter delete anything?

No: the documented filter hides non-matches; Release has its own selection and confirmation flow.

Will release refund my training?

The reviewed confirmation explicitly warns that training materials are not returned. Do not use Release as a reset method.

What if Release is unavailable?

Inspect Favorite status, deployment/exploration state and the current message. Record it for Support if the UI differs; do not remove protections from an individual you still intend to keep.

• Use Inherit when your goal is keeping training
• A low-rated individual may still be a useful worker
