Removing MDM from Apple Store-purchased devices

How do I remove MDM from my devices that I bought directly and fully paid for from Apple? Apple Support has been no help.

i am a few hours away from the nearest Apple Store…and I’m disabled. You all are my last hope on getting control of my devices back!

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple largely is not here except to moderate it.


Nobody here can remove MDM for you. If you allowed a school or employer to enroll "[your] devices that [you] bought directly and fully paid for from Apple" in a MDM system, you will need to contact that organization, and convince them to remove your devices from their MDM system.


I do not speak for Apple, but I'd guess that when you contacted Apple Support, Apple told you the same thing.
