The only thing that happens when you delete it from "Your Devices" is that it can no longer be tracked or be allowed to alter iCloud settings, remotely.


So yes, go into Settings.

General.

Erase all Content and Settings--when it asks to keep carrier info on device, say yes.

And yes, delete that phone from "Your Devices" on a different device...if wiping it doesn't do that automatically.
