Removing iCloud from a MacBook remotely without FindMy etc.

The insurance company have my broken laptop but will not progress the claim as they say I have not removed iCloud from the device. I removed FindMy etc and now don't know how to remove iCloud remotely. Does anyone know any easy means to do this? Thanks

Remove Device From Account I have possession of a MacBook Pro (a company owned laptop) that is showing in my personal Apple Account list of trusted devices. When I try to remove it from my personal account, I get the following message: "Because Stolen Device Protection is turned on, some of your account information can’t be changed on the web. To remove a device from your account, use your other Apple devices." I've tried to remove it from my personal apple account on literally every device that I own and that company owned laptop, but it will not let me remove it. The company owned laptop is not signed in to my Apple Account (it's using a different work-managed Apple Account). How do I remove this company owned laptop from my personal Apple Account?

Remove Macbook from "where is my device" remotely and after it has been deleted from my devices Hi. I have sold an old MacBook and, although I have erased it and removed it from my devices, I have forgot to deactivate the "where is my device" function. Is there still a way to deactivate this function remotely without giving away my credentials? Thanks.

remote account delete with multiple users I gifted a new iMac to someone and we both have admin accounts on the machine. I would like to remotely delete my account but not affect their account or the iMac. If I understand the “erase” function on find my device, it will erase the iMac instead of just my account?
