    how to delete a phone FOR EVER in Microsoft's devicelist?


    I have got a new phone, and I have tried linked it to Windows as I did with my old phone. Without luck.
    But first things first. I log in to my Microsoft account, and look at "My devices". In there is my new phone and my old phone (Samsung and Huawei so no change for mistake). I then click on the old phone, click on show details, and then select Unlink this phone from the menu. Then the phone is gone ... for a time. Because next time I start my other PC, the old phone is back again!
    I have tried to boot both PC's (laptop and a gamer-rig) at the same time, both to windows account, removed the old phone in one, updated the page on both PC's, and the old phone is gone.
    Until next boot, then it is back again!!

    How do I delete the old phone FOR EVER, as it will never be used again??

    :)

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular Windows Phone-Apps – Microsoft Store

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:
