Windows 10: Account removal from old device not working

I used to have a home device where I was signed in to my microsoft account. The old device is still in use but I have my own personal device where I am logged in to the same account. Now I want to remove the account from the home device. When I click on Manage my accounts in the Accounts page in settings, it takes me to the live com website where I can remove the home device from my list of devices connected to my account. I do that but that doesn't seem to work as it returns to the same situation after a reboot.

How to remove the unused old device from account?

Hi,

Thanks for the tip. This does not resolve the issue to remove the unused/old device from Microsoft account. My old device is still in the list of devices in my account. That old device is already gone for recycle ages ago. So I need to see old device
to disappear from the list of devices. Got it?
