Remove a device from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/remove-a-device-mmfc0eeddd/icloud


"If you’re no longer using an iOS device, an Apple Watch, AirPods, or a Mac, you can remove it from Find My iPhone using Find My iPhone on iCloud.com or your device. When you remove a device, it’s removed from your Find My iPhone Devices list, and if your device has iOS 7 or later, Activation Lock is also turned off."
