Step 1: Open the Apple ID website or app

First, you need to access your Apple ID account. You can do this by visiting the Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) or by opening the Apple ID app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Step 2: Sign in to your Apple ID account

If you’re using the website, enter your Apple ID email address and password to sign in. If you’re using the app, simply tap the “Sign In” button and enter your credentials.

Step 3: Navigate to the Devices section

Once you’re signed in, look for the “Devices” section on the website or in the app. On the website, it’s typically located on the left-hand side menu. In the app, you’ll find it under the “Devices” tab.

Step 4: View your list of devices

The Devices section will display a list of all the devices associated with your Apple ID. This list includes all the devices that have been activated with your Apple ID, whether they are currently active or not.

Step 5: Select the device you want to delete

Scroll through the list of devices and find the one you want to remove. Click or tap on the device to select it.

Step 6: Delete the device

Once the device is selected, you will see a “Remove from Account” option. Click or tap on this option to delete the device from your Apple ID. You may be prompted to enter your Apple ID password to confirm the deletion.

Step 7: Confirm the deletion

After entering your password, a confirmation message will appear. Click or tap “Remove” to finalize the deletion process.
