    How do I remove a device I no longer have access to from Phone Link?


    I had a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra connected to my Phone Link. I traded it in for an S25 Ultra. I connected my S25 Ultra to Phone Link but realized there was no way to remove the S22 Ultra. Now, I no longer have the S22 Ultra and can't remove it from Phone Link on my laptop. Is there a way to remove the device even though I no longer have access to it?

    :)

    Remove Quick access link for file server location that are no longer available

    Hi

    I want remove a couple of obsolete links from Quick access. The links point to a server location that no longer is available. I tried the steps in

    File Explorer in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Unfortunately right-clicking a link results in a non responsive File Explorer or application (when the link is access from within a file dialog)

    Stop Windows 10 from asking to link phone to computer

    Besides Group Policy, what other ways have you tried ?
    Do you utilize Shared experiences, Share across devices ?

    Unlink your phone from your PC running Windows 10, use these steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Click on Phone.
    • Click the Unlink this PC option. Unlink your phone from computer.
    • Click the Home button.
    • Click on Devices.
    • Click on Bluetooth & other devices.
    • Select your phone.
    • Click the Remove device button.

    Remove Devices

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while removing the device from your Microsoft account as it keeps popping back after removing.



    It could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive
    and see if that helps.



    You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.



    1. Login to
      https://onedrive.live.com
      .
    2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
    3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
      Remove PC.


    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.
