can I deauthorize all devices?

One the years I've had iPods or iPads or MacBooks that are either lost, broken or replaced. No iTunes or Apple Music is telling me I have too many authorized devices. Can I just deauthorize all and start over?

Only computers are authorized devices. See the instructions titled "If you need to deauthorize a computer that you don't have access to" in either the PC or Mac section of Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

The give directions on how to "Deauthorize All" and then authorize any computers you still have and want to use.
