    First, welcome to CB

    Those are apparently ghost computers. We all have them when we set up with Link. There is no way to permanently delete them. I wouldn't worry, they don't have a security issue.

    Do they persist if you disconnect Link on your phone and/or computer? I sometimes have it happen until after I rename the computer in Link.

    Unless you mean on your computer, then that's the default device name until you change it - reboot your computer after you rename your phone.

    Might help us if you can provide a screenshot of where exactly you see these two crop up.

    This can also happen if you once used a computer other than yours, installed Link there and connected your device.

    That's a Bluetooth connection, not Link. Long press, then delete should easily clear that.

    Usually there's a six-digit code that needs confirmed on both devices when connecting things that have input capabilities like computers and phones.
