    Edit/remove devices from skydrive.live.com?


    My school reimaged their computers so I had to reinstall Skydrive.

    Problem is, I now have two entries for the school computer, with the second one being (computer name)-1.

    How do I remove the old device, and change the name of the current device?

    Thanks.

    I managed to remove the old copies of the computers, but they still have -1 at the end of the name. How do I fix that?

    I hope they add the personalization capabilities that Mesh had (Name and device icon), found at devices.live.com

    And while I'm at it, how do I rename Trusted PCs on my Microsoft account?

    Log into SkyDrive, click any pc name then follow instruction option near top left. Then reinstall on the pc/s you want using the last location used or you will get double folders.

    This worked for me. I got a prompt on the disconnected computer (name-1) that it had been unlinked. On the SkyDrive website, I deleted name and name-1. Then, I logged back in on the computer, and it showed up in the devices list as name. "Problem" solved!
