Q: How do I delete devices from my apple id?

The 'manage devices' section only shows if you have computers and/or devices associated to your account : View and remove associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

How did you delete it? Do you have to be logged out of your Apple ID on that device for 90 days or something? I logged out of my Apple ID on every setting but it won't let me click the Remove button.

So, this process is pretty straight forward.  But, I have ten (10) devices in my acct (big family) and I recently upgraded my phone (6s Plus to 7 Plus).  When I try to "manage" my devices, all 10 devices are greyed out including the iPhone I just swapped out under Apple's program.  In short, I can't add my new phone, as well as manage the acct.  I'm thinking the answer is to call into support, but I dread that...first world problems...I get it.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
