How to remove old devices from Screen Time settings on MacBook Air?

At the moment I only have 3 Apple devices (IPhone, IPad and MacBook Air). Previously, I also had a MacBook Pro, but I do not any more and thus deleted it from the devices of the Apple ID. However, when I go to the Screen Time Settings, I still can see it. How to fully delete this device from it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

To remove old devices from Screen Time settings on a MacBook Air, you need to remove them from your Apple ID device list. There is no direct way to remove them specifically from Screen Time settings. First, verify that the old device is signed out of iCloud and then remove it from your Apple ID. Note that it might take some time for the device to disappear from Screen Time after removal from your Apple ID.
