How to remove devices from screen mirroring list

Hi!


I recently tried side car on someone else's iPad by logging into it with my account. After logging out of it, I noticed it's still showing up as a device i can connect to (which I cannot as I have logged out of it).


How do I remove the device from the list?


P.S. It also always has that buffering icon on the right.


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.6

Hi BA-BEL,


You indicate that you signed into an iPad that you don't own to use Sidecar. Did you sign out of that device when completed? If unsure, use Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in to confirm your account was removed from that device or to remove it from your account if necessary.


If the behavior persists, test in safe mode per How to use safe mode on your Mac and follow the subsequent steps as necessary if the behavior continues after exiting safe mode or it still occurs during that test.


Regards.
