I tried the removal recommendation (at least 3 times) to no avail. Murphy1980 is looking like a genius.
Remove Inaccessible Computers from Link to Windows App on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
I need assistance removing multiple computers from my Link to Windows app. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. There are 4 computers linked to my Link to Windows app on this phone. These computers are actually previous Windows installations on my current PC. I've reinstalled Windows multiple times on this PC, and I can no longer access these previous installations to disconnect them properly. I need a way to remove these inaccessible computers from my Linked Account.
How can I remove these inaccessible computers from my Link to Windows app on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra without having direct access to the previous Windows installations?

My old disconnected PC still appears on my Samsung phone.
Being there is a possibility of operator error I will attempt again.
