If you’ve got your devices named well (and here’s a good reason to do that if you haven’t), it should be easy to find. But unless you have a lot of devices to weed through, the “Your devices” page is just fine. Find the device you’d like to remove on the list. You can also view just devices that have apps & games, music, or movies & TV shows. The “Your devices” page shows all devices registered to your account. To remove a device from your account, hit your web browser and sign in to your Microsoft account.Ĭlick the Devices menu and then choose “Your devices.” Removing a device also removes its backups. These backups don’t use a lot of space, but if you’re using a free OneDrive account, every bit of space counts. Every Windows 10 device on which you’ve enabled sync stores its backups on your OneDrive account.And if you sell a Windows Phone, you’ll need to remove the device from your account before the new owner can set up features like Find My Phone. If you want to sell, give away, or just trash an old computer, it’s a good idea to remove it from your Microsoft account first.If you have a device you want to keep, but remove installed apps, you can also de-authorize that device in the Windows Store instead of removing the device entirely.
That may seem like plenty, but it also includes old devices you may not use anymore.
