Removing Bluetooth Device

How would I go about deleting phones off my bluetooth file exchange list? They are phones that I no longer need to connect to.

Thank You, isdfx

If you are asking how to remove the pairing of mobile handsets or other devices from your computer, simply do this:

• launch the System Preferences application
• select the Bluetooth pane
• press the Devices tab
• highlight the device you wish to remove in the scrollable Bluetooth Devices list
• press the Delete… button to the right
• confirm the deletion by pressing the Delete button in the confirmation dialog which appears

Alternatively, you install the Apple Xcode Tools of Mac OS X v10.4 suppling a tool to delete these cached devics:
Mac OS X > Developer > Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Explorer > Menu Edit > List cached divices or somthing like that – not in Mac OS X right now.

Please note that the Xcode/Developer tools require a certain amount of disk space.

The correct path is:
Mac OS X > Developer > Applications > Utilities > Bluetooth > Bluetooth Explorer > Menu Utilities > Show Device Cache

However, just tested this and it does not work. Then each deleted device of the cache will show up as Unknown Device in Apple's Bluetooth Device Selection dialogs. Worse than before. Do not use "my" trick.
