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?

    I assume this PROBLEM is also linked to UNLINKABLE contacts - 2 contacts linked together that cannot be undone (by any method), so 1 text out mean the same text comes back as well - giving you 2 contact messages. Only happens on my wife and my number, no other, and it doesn't happen on our android phones - only this "Phone Link" app. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_11-wintop_apps-win_subtopwinapps/phone-link-has-dual-unlinkable-contacts-1-text-out/b9473563-9bef-41b8-a800-9b1023f17f1d

    I have tried everything possible, even reformatting.

    Has anyone figured out a solution yet? I have the exact same issue, older Windows PC's that were linked to my Samsung S24 Ultra that I no longer have and can't delete them from my "Linked Computers" list. When I actually log into my Windows account, I only see one device listed and linked but not on my Samsung phone. Could this be a Samsung issue as I really don't care to reset the phone and end up with the same problem.

    I see no way to upvote it.. it just takes me to a feedback hub button so that link you provided appears to be invalid for the actual feedback.

    A Update on this issue. Looks like the Feedback I created is starting to get noticed https://aka.ms/AAstmsw 

    Please Upvote this to get Microsoft to see it.

    They did post a response on the issue but it does not solve the issue.

    Chiming in on this because I just reinstalled Windows and realized that it's kept track of all of my PCs that I've had or had to reinstall due to some type of issue or new graphics card or something. This used to be accessible in Windows and I don't know why Microsoft is trying to make it difficult. They also made it difficult for you to remove backups of previous PCs and you have to go online into devices to remove and it never used to be like that. I also submitted feedback and the feedback hub and hopefully someone can get this fixed as soon as possible.
