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?

2024-10-10T00:55:19+00:00 I've been trying to sort this out for some time now and someone lead me here. Phone Link and Link to Windows do seem to be the best option available but, sadly, they are mediocre at best in terms of functionality, interface and capabilities. Some form of ability to cleanup or even perform a complete reset should be available.

There is no where to remove them within your account also on the microsoft website. They should just let use have the option to delete them from the Phone Link App.

Not too long ago on the phone, we were able to long press a computer and then "Delete" (or was it remove?) computer inside "link to windows" settings.

2024-10-14T01:34:12+00:00 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.
