how to remove the device on phone link? It only shows me the disable/enable button.

Hello,

I found a solution by myself that works.

Just download and install an old phone link app, for example

phone-link-1-24022-69-0.appxbundle

from https://phone-link.en.uptodown.com/windows/download/127488292

or from anywhere you can find an older version before (April 2024)

and follow the onscreen instructions to overwrite the newer app already installed in your windows.

You can install this older app by right clicking the downloaded file and selecting install.

This will allow you to delete the old device as the delete option will be available.

Then you can update phone link to the latest version using windows update.

Spyros

I somehow managed to connect to this older version but when I'm in it, only the current device is visible (and removable), the other two that still show up in Settings, Bluetooth and Devices, Mobile Devices do not! Does anyone have an idea what to do now? So close...

You can open Settings / Bluetooth and other devices

then scroll down to other devices

select the device you want to delete

and click remove

On the device manager

Open the Device Manager app.

You can quickly open it pressing Win + X and selecting Device Manager from the menu.

Click the View item on the menu bar.

Click on Show hidden devices to add a check mark and make the hidden devices visible

you can now delete any previously used device

Not exactly...

In my case, I never use the Bluetooth option. I don't use my computer to make cellphone calls. I use it only for the SMS features.

I found the same. It looks like you can add the other phones in that version and then remove them. I don't have access to those phones to add them again though and as such I still have no option to remove.

Doesn't work.

If you install the older app version, it will not have any of your previous devices at all listed - you first need to add them, in order to remove them (which defeats the purpose anyway).

And as this thread is about being unable to remove old devices no longer owned by the user, then clearly we cannot first add these old devices, as we do not have them any more.

Conversely, as soon as you update the app to the newest version, all of the old devices appear back in the list anyway.
