Windows 10: How to remove unwanted phone devices from "This PC"?

Please help me how to remove these "Yellow" marked devices from "This PC".


Note : My original Windows version is Windows 7, then I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and then currently having Windows 10. So most of these devices were installed while having previous versions of windows.


These devices are not found in Settings > Devices.

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.

how to delete a phone FOREVER in Microsoft's device list?

#2 That did not work. It is not on the PC or the laptop after deleting it from my account, but I think "something" sync it back. So maybe there after all IS something on the PC after deleting it in my account.
Neither the laptop or the gamer has any device listed in devicemanager about the old phone (not in hidden devices either) nomatter if I has deleted it in my account or not.

EDIT: I have now tried to take the laptop with me home from work, and I tried to log in at My account at Microsoft at both computers at the same time. I then deleted my old android phone on BOTH PC's. Well, it was gone. I rebooted both PC's, and the old android phone was still gone. 2 hours later I'm at job again, logging in on my laptop just to see .... the old android phone is back yet again!! What the h.... is going on? Why is it next to impossible to get rid of an old phone in WIndows 10?? Please help!

I have read and followed this guide from Microsoft:
If you're planning to sell or gift your Windows 10 device or your Xbox One console, make sure you've removed all personal info from it.









Remove a device from your Microsoft account


After you've backed up and reset your device, you should remove it from your Microsoft account. Here's how:

• Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices, sign in, and find the device you want to remove.
• Select Show details to see info for that device.
• Under your device's name, select More actions > Remove.
• Review your device details, select the box for I'm ready to remove this device, then select Remove.

You can then unlink the device from your Microsoft account so it doesn't affect your Microsoft Store device limit:

• Sign in with your Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/devices.
• Find the device you want to remove and select Unlink.
• Review your device details and select Unlink.

Well, point 4 in the above does not show up, just the "Are you sure" and then the remove buttom.
