I'm trying to understand you meant by 'early this year'. I had 2 tablets stolen from me in 2012, and could never delete either one from my account. All I could do was hide them.

Fortunately, after the latest update to Play, one of them 'magically' disappeared. But the second one, which has not been picked up by Play for activity since 2011 - that one, yeah, it's still there. Go figure!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoandroid:
I do wish someone could find a way to make a utility to deal with this, and the other Play Store shortcoming of no longer being able to "dis-associate" a Store app from the update list. As I understand it that was once possible with TIBU, but is no longer possible. I have a few apps that I don't ever want to update, but when you have dozens of apps installed it is nice to be able to just tap the "update all" button when dealing with the updates for other apps. Doing them individually is a chore. In the very least I'd like to be able to "hide" one of the apps from the "update all" list.

OK I once owned Samsung Galaxy Nexus, wich I completely destroyed - this phone is still shown in My Devices (as seen on screenshot). But the problem is, I bought LG Nexus 4 wich is shown twice in My Devices. I guess ,,the older N4" is after some freaky custom rom flashing...

The only way is to wait nearly a year or so? Did someone confirm that after this period devices are gone?

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momcat1:
It may take a lot longer than that. I have posted before about one of my stolen tablets, that after a year and a half it was still there. It has been close to 2 years and a half, and it's still listed. I even had marked it to not be listed (i.e. hidden) and it's now showing as listed (visible).

So, based on my personal experience (YMMV), it can be a very long time before Google in their infinite wisdom decides to go ahead and delete and unused device that I begged them to get rid of. Since the device has not been spotted online by anyone in that time it makes no sense to me that Google would have any interest in prolonging the agony.

Xperia S Removed

I had the same problem but in a weird way, this year I had 6 devices Xperia S and Samsung Note 8.0 among them but when I removed the Google account from each device (just by going to accounts on the device and delete account) both devices are gone in a minute from my account, but when I tried this with my Xperia Ray and Xperia P both are still there,so maybe it is based on device or region thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ano59:
Sorry about the necroposting, but I wish to add some precisions to this useful post :

1) Is true and it really helps to be able to delete a device ! Unfortunately you have to still own the device. If it doesn't work, connect to Google Play on your PC and check/uncheck the Show device checkbox, it should disappear after a click or two.

2) Doesn't work, at least not everytime. As mentioned in this thread, I got a phone which is still there after 1+ year.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aboutblank6:
I too find it annoying that Google does not let one routinely delete a device from one's account (not merely hide it). Part of the problem is that, apparently, even if you hide all your old devices, the installed app list is not filtered based upon the device you are working with. So, applications appear that I thought I had deleted...and it turns out that I *had* deleted them on my current device, but they were still present when I retired another device that I no longer use. So the list is longer than it should be, and confusing.

If Google were to add the ability to filter the 'My Apps' list by the device(s) currently checked, that would be a big improvement, even if not a perfect solution. That would allow the device to still appear in the list, but one wouldn't have to deal with the old apps appearing in the current list.

(Perhaps Google doesn't know which device each app was/is installed on?! :confused: That would make filtering the list impossible. I suspect they do, and hope they realize what a mess they've created for people who own multiple devices, or those that change devices frequently!)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
In my experience, there is no way to remove devices manually, but after a long time of inactivity (seems like two years for me) it will finally just go away. I really wish it was more like 2 or 3 months, as I often find myself getting warranty replacements on things shortly after I get them, then I have a device that probably doesn't even exist anymore on my Google Play thing. I also have done my fair share of experimenting with Android-x86 so I also have a few random VirtualBoxes and such in my Google Play device list which is really annoying. Hiding is great, and I suppose its a good thing that we at least can hide, but a big red juicy "Delete", or " Hide permanently" button would be nice, or at least much, much shorter automatic delete times.... Really? 2 years?

Google Account

hey there!

If anyone interested I think I've got the solution. I'm not sure since I'm gonna sell my old phone ( currently broken screen, totally black ).

but..!

pictures attached bottom

1) At first head to Google Account Settings..

2) Here, choose Security Tab

3) Under the Security, click on Apps and Websites

4) There's Your list with the devices that using Your google account. Simply clicking on the selected, then Revoke Acces.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momcat1:
That was a creative effort! I never would have thought to look there. Unfortunately, only one of my devices even shows there. I have three others that should be listed, and a fourth one that I've been trying to remove for three years.

Solution

Guys... I have found the solution. Seriously.

(Qouted from my blog: mxb.io/blog/2014/11/deassociate-phonedevice-with-google-play)

Okay so after hours and hours of frustrating research and time on the phone with Google Apps for Business, I've found a solution to an issue plaguing several people, including myself. When your phone or device is stuck and associated with your Google Play account. It can get very annoying and very messy, especially if you're a beta tester and you just want to download an app. Before you know it, you have a hundred devices on your Android Device Manager list.

My OCD, was KILLING me seeing phone Galaxy S5 on my business account, instead of my personal account. Ugh. So right after getting off the phone with Google, I kinda gave up. Read a bit more, and saw something about the device being removed after 9 months of inactivity. So that's some hope, I guess.

But wait! Right after I gave up, I was just browsing my account, and light came down from the heavens...

(SKIP HERE FOR THE GOOD STUFF)

So let's begin.

If you want to remove the apps associated with your account, remove them from the Google Play app first, but uninstalling them, then clicking the X in the My Apps page.

If you want to remove a device from your Android Device Manager list:

Navigate to the following link on the account you would like to remove the specific device:

http://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?hl=en

Find the device that you want to remove. In my case, my Galaxy S5. But for demonstration purposes I'll be removing an old dev phone.

Before...

What it should look like after you click "Remove"

Go to the Android Device Manager in Google Play.

Boom! It's gone!

Yes. Just yes. Much frustration later. That's why I'm sharing this with the internetz so maybe you won't have to go through the same pain.

Thanks guys!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momcat1:
I don't have a problem there. The problem is in Google Play itself, where the old devices were supposed to roll off after some months of non-use. https://play.google.com/settings?hl=en, still shows my first Google TV, that was replaced by my second Google TV. It also still shows my old tablet that was stolen in April 2011. The best I can do there is hide them, which IMO is really not good enough. I don't have access to these devices anymore, why should I still see them listed under my account?

In your defense, the page you sent us to do not show any of them, just the devices that are currently active.

If I go to Play and request an app download, why should I see non-existent devices listed as devices to download to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandonMXB:
So after I removed my device from that link I posted, by clicking the red "Remove" button. It actually removed my device entirely from Google Play Android Device Manager. I would imagine it would do the same for the TV. But I'm not sure since the TV might not be listed on that security page. But that security just list all your account activity, including any strangers that might be in your account. So removing the phone removes everything...

Here is the correct link to Revoke Access from any device at google account

Thanks to [MENTION=5986482]enteytin[/MENTION]

And here you can just delete them from the active list

https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity

Thanks to [MENTION=6171021]BrandonMXB[/MENTION]

But as far as I see both links does not delete them from this list

https://play.google.com/settings

You can only hide the device and hope it will go off after some years :(

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momcat1:
I agree. I am still waiting for the device stolen from me in 2011 to be removed. I'm sorry, but hiding it is not good enough. I want to see it removed from my account. I haven't been responsible for it since it was stolen. I should not have to continue having it attached to me. I've waited 5 years - how much longer Google?

The post is from 4 years ago. Google has stopped that practice for many years now, there is no way to get your device removed as of March 2016.

Hoping to be quoted in another 4 years and being wrong by then! Weird decision from Google.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lellobello:
Just wanted to provide an update to this never-ending saga.

The Google Play my devices section has now lost any device since at least before March 2016. This must have happened within the last 2 months (i.e. Sept or Oct 2016).

Before March 2016, my previously added phone was a Nexus 6 in Sept 2016 (now gone of course). The only thing I did was to ask for a device purge on Google Play Music, but this was earlier in the summer and I definitely still did see all my devices dating back to 2012-3 in Google Play after that.

I wonder if Google reintroduced the 9 month time frame? Who knows.
