# How do I remove a paired device from Bridge?

Click **Forget** on the device's row in the Devices tab. That removes the pairing completely, and the device can no longer connect back to your Mac.

1. Open **More** → **Connect Accounts…** → **Devices**.
2. Find the device under **Paired devices**.
3. Click **Forget**.

In the Bridge app, you can also forget the Mac from its **Devices** screen. To pair again later, you'll need a fresh connecting code.
