If you still have the Galaxy phone, remove your Samsung account in Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage accounts, select the account, tap Remove account, then confirm Sign out if prompted. If you no longer have the phone, check the linked-device controls in your Samsung Account online instead. Removing a phone from the account and removing it as a trusted device for verification are separate tasks.
Choose the action that matches your situation
| What you need to change | Where to do it | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Disconnect the Samsung account from a phone you still have | Galaxy Settings | Removes the account from that device; it does not delete the Samsung account. |
| Unregister a phone you no longer have, or that remains linked | Samsung Account online | Lets you inspect the account’s linked-device controls. The available labels and controls can vary by region and interface. |
| Stop using a phone as a verification device | Samsung Account two-step verification settings | Changes trusted-device status; this does not by itself establish that the phone was removed from the linked-device list. |
Remove the account from a phone you still have
- Open Settings on the Galaxy phone.
- Tap Accounts and backup > Manage accounts.
- Select your Samsung account, then tap Remove account.
- Confirm the removal. If prompted, choose Sign out and enter your Samsung account password.
Samsung documents this as a device-level sign-out: it disconnects the account on that phone but does not permanently delete the account. Samsung says account-associated data is removed from the device, not from its servers; see Samsung Support’s account-removal guidance. Samsung’s US guidance also notes that the device may still need to be unregistered online to be completely removed from the account: Samsung US Support.

Settings names can differ by model and software version. If the route does not match your phone, search Settings for Accounts and open the Samsung account entry.
If you no longer have the phone, check your account online
- Sign in to Samsung Account using a browser.
- Open Devices or the equivalent linked-device area in your account.
- Look for the old phone and use its sign-out or removal control if one is available.
Samsung’s Mexico support article describes a computer-based route through Devices followed by Sign out for the linked device: Samsung Mexico Support. That article was updated September 22, 2026. Labels and controls may differ by account region, and the same individual-device option is not confirmed for every region. If the phone does not appear or there is no removal control, consult Samsung Support for the account region you use.

Do not assume that remotely signing out erases the phone or its local files. The cited guidance establishes account sign-out and device registration controls, not remote data erasure.
Remove an old phone from trusted verification devices
If the phone is listed as trusted for two-step verification, manage that setting separately from the linked-device list. Samsung’s web instructions let you remove all trusted devices at once; they do not provide an individual-device removal control in the browser. A device may become trusted again after you complete verification on it. See Samsung US Support’s two-step verification guidance.

Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Check that you can sign in before signing out
- Make sure you know the Samsung account ID and password.
- Confirm you can access your two-step verification method, such as a registered phone number or another eligible device.
- If the old phone is your only verification option, arrange another method before removing the account or changing trusted-device settings.
Samsung notes that sign-out can request the account password and that two-step verification may send a code to registered devices or numbers. Review its two-step verification instructions if you need to update verification access.

Do not delete your Samsung account to remove one phone
Deleting the Samsung account is a separate and broader action. Samsung says account deletion removes account details and data and can affect connected Samsung services. It is not necessary to disconnect or unregister one old phone. See Samsung UK Support and Samsung Mexico Support for the distinction between removing an account from a device and deleting an account.
