  1. Removing old, dead phone


    I can't disconnect old phone A51 from phone link. It shows up along with new phone A36. I am told to open settings in PhoneLink and select "manage devices," but there is no such selection.

  2. Unlink an old android phone from my pc

    I go thru the suggested steps: Start - Settings - Phone - Unlink this PC.

    When I first open the "your phone" screen the old phone is listed. Not sure if the phone listed is suppose to be selectable or not, but my is not. When I select "Unlink this PC" the phone listed is removed. When I select "Add Phone" the old phone still
    shows. I have removed the old phone from my Microsoft Account. I have rebooted after unlink this pc but I still cannot remove my old phone.

  3. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Removing old, dead phone

    Phone is completely Kaput - cannot remove from Device manager in Win10 as it says I have to use the phone to do it

    my old lumia is dead, went for a swim and is done

    To remove from device on my Microsoft account it says this

    We removed your phone at ‎8‎/‎28‎/‎2015‎ ‎7‎:‎05‎:‎32‎ ‎PM.




    • To reset your phone:

      In the App list on your phone, tap Settings

      Under System, tap About, and then tap
      Reset your phone

    I love Catch 22's, so I can't actually remove it as it is completely dead

    Cheers
