Remove Old Bluetooth Devices

A Bluetooth headset is just one of many devices you can connect to.


Devices that come equipped with Bluetooth technology are able to establish a wireless network that only the two devices can communicate over. Once the devices go through a pairing process, they are able to send audio, video and files back and forth. Any one device, like a computer or mobile phone, can have multiple Bluetooth devices that it connects with, and each will be listed in the Bluetooth section of the device. When you no longer need a particular Bluetooth connection, deleting the old device can free up room and make the Bluetooth menu much less cluttered.


Instructions


Windows 7


1. Click on the Windows button, and place your cursor into the search box.


2. Type in "Devices and Printers," and press "Enter." The Devices and Printers window will open up.


3. Click on the Bluetooth device that you want to remove.


4. Click "Remove Device," which will appear at the top of the screen.


5. Press "Yes" to confirm the removal.


Mobile Device


6. Access the "Bluetooth" or "Bluetooth Settings" menu on your mobile device. This menu is normally found under the main menu, but it may also be a stand-alone application, or under the "Connections" area, on some devices.


7. Display a list of your current Bluetooth devices. On some phones, this may happen automatically, but on others you may have to enter a "Devices" or "Trusted Devices" sub-menu.


8. Select the device you want to delete from the list, and open up the menu. On some mobile devices, you can open up a menu with one of the two soft keys, on others you may have to press a dedicated menu button and on others you will have to press and hold the icon button to open up the menu.


9. Choose "Delete" or "Unpair" from the menu. You may be asked to confirm this, depending on your device.


10. Reset the device to finish the removal process.
