Unable to remove a device from Apple ID because of an error

I am trying to remove an Apple Watch from my Apple ID account bsing my iPhone but each time I try, I get the following error:

"Device could not be removed because of an erroe. Try again later."


I get the same message when I try to remove the old iphones and laptops that I no longer use.


Any advice on how I can remove this device?



Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 6

Correct. I cannot remove a device from my own Apple ID but then I went and tested it by adding another Apple ID to the same device. I was then able to remove that device on the other Apple ID. This leads me to believe that it is an Apple ID specific issue and not tied to the device we are trying to remove. Probably a bug that hopefully gets fixed soon.

This is ridiculous. I too cannot remove my devices due to an error. Apple you need to fix this. I have two devices I need to remove now. I tried removing them from my iPhone settings then online from iCloud.com. Then I re imaged my MSI (the pc I am trying to remove from apple account) to no avail. Why is this not being fixed? Signing out of the devices themselves does not work.
