Windows 10: Phone link, Unable to remove old device. Phone link ver 1.25032.76.0

Old S23 Samsung device is not in my account or anywhere, only in Phone link does the device show up with just a disable slider only, no Remove option. I was able to remove my new phone, but not the old device. The only thing I can think of is that Microsoft stores these somewhere that we can't Access. Any help would be grateful.

Phone Link not showing Contact Names....again

I was able to fix this on my computer by following these steps:

1. In the Phone Link app on PC, go to Settings, click the My Devices tab, and use the ellipsis (...) menu on your device to remove it, then close the app.
   
2. On your phone (mine is an Android), go to Settings, Apps, Link to Windows, Open, then remove your PC from the Linked Computers section.
   
3. Restart your phone.
   
4. Re-link the phone and PC by restarting the Phone Link app on your PC and following the step to add your device.
   
5. Perhaps this is the critical thing, but I noticed in the Link to Windows app on Android, there is a toggle to "Sync contacts" under the list of Linked Computers, which was disabled for me. Turn this on.
   

Contacts are showing up again for me now - yay!
