Phone Remove Mobile Devices from Microsoft Account on Windows 11 PC

This tutorial will show you how to remove a linked mobile device (phone) from your Microsoft account in Windows 11.

You can link and manage your mobile devices directly from your PC. This link between your Android device and PC provides instant access to your mobile device with just a few simple steps.

You used to have to sign out of the Link to Windows app on your Android phone to unlink it from your Microsoft account.

Starting with Cross Device Experience Host version 1.25022.55.0, you can now remove mobile devices from your Microsoft account directly in the Manage mobile devices dialog.

Removing a mobile device will remove it from all your device lists.

Note: The mobile device might appear in Windows devices and Microsoft products and services. If it still appears, you'll need to remove it there.
