How to Remove Mobile Devices from Microsoft Account on Windows 11
Removing a mobile device from your Microsoft account unlinks old phones and tablets so they stop sharing your settings, apps, and passwords. Microsoft maintains this device list online to help you clear out hardware you sell, lose, or give away.
Old phones stay connected to your profile until you manually delete them through your web browser dashboard. Clearing out unused devices takes about two minutes and stops old hardware from syncing your personal data.
Open Settings and go to Bluetooth & devices, then select Mobile devices. Click Manage devices, expand your mobile device, and select Remove from account to unlink it.
