Sync tabs in IE 11: how to manage machines

[delingren]

This new sync tab feature in IE11 is handy. But it's also a bit annoying. I have about 7 or 8 PCs I use frequently and I re-install the OS all the time. So I end up with orphan machines that appear in IE 11 sync tabs and I can't seem to find a way to remove them. I also noticed that these tabs mysteriously disappeared on some of my machines. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello Delingren,

You could use the method on the tutorial below to delete the synced settings of a PC for this.

Hope this helps,

Thanks. I'm aware of that tutorial. It didn't work. I don't have orphan settings in SkyDrive.



However, I still see them in IE.

Where in IE are you seeing those at?

In that case, see if clearing IE's history may remove the PCs that have been removed using the other method. It cleared it for me.
