Remove AirPods from iCloud account

I recently sold my old AirPods, and I thought I did everything right when I removed them in Find My.

But something went wrong, and the new owner gets the message that they still are connected to my iCloud account.

However, I can’t even see them in the device list in Find My anymore.

How can I remove them remotely from my iCloud account?

Remove AirPods from someone else’s Apple ID My AirPods Pro have been connected to a few peoples phones, and added to their Apple IDs. This has caused issues in find my iPhone, and I can’t track their location properly, and Apple Store employees have advised that I remove them from all devices in find my iPhone. I have removed the AirPods from all devices, except the owner of one device won’t let me remove them (why?). I need to remove them from this Apple ID.

AirPods linked to Multiple accounts - how can I remove them? I have a pair of AirPod pros that belonged to my step-daughter. She upgraded and I am now trying to sell them. Problem is it keeps telling me that they are linked to other accounts. It seems that not only did she use them but many friends / colleagues linked them to their accounts too!!!!! Our family have removed them from our “iCloud”(?) but still saying linked to another account and she has no idea who. This means that not only does it say they are linked to other users and they can track the AirPods, but I cannot sell them as intended. Is there any way to remove the AirPods from all of these accounts as we have no idea who they are still linked to. thanks

With a web browser, go to: https://www.iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID. Open Find My iPhone and select All Devices (at the top). Then click your Apple Airpods, select 'Erase', and select Next until the device is erased. Finally click "X" next to remove the AirPods.
