Deletion of "orphaned" tab groups?

Dear Mac fans,

unfortunately, on my tab groups, tabs from a computer that I do not have access to any more show up... it's a Mac mini that I configured... which I deleted my Apple ID from... but obviously some open tabs remained in the iCloud sync cache.


Is it still true that such "orphans" are deleted after 14 days automatically?


Thx,

Chris

Mac mini 2018 or later

Craziness... I found a solution: Close Safari. Set the time 2 weeks ahead on your Mac. Open Safari. Wait until the sync has taken place (just a few seconds). Close... set the time back.


Done!


The orphaned device / tab groups are gone.
