*I apologize in advance if this wasn't the best place to post this, but I wasn't really sure.

I am trying to remove my old MacBook from the device list. After I select to erase it, I get the note that "Actions will apply when this Mac is plugged in and connected to the internet." Well, that won't happen because the laptop unfortunately was a victim of Pinot Grigio...LOL.

Does anyone know what I can do to get this removed?

You are selecting to erase the data on the device - not remove the device from the list. That's why the action won't occur until it is plugged in and connected to the internet.

You need to click on a small circled X next to the device in the device list to remove it from the list - see here.

I am trying to remove it via iPad, but this helped me. I did a left swipe and it allowed me to remove it. Thanks!
