Erase Your Content
The first step is to erase the content on the phone or device. Do so by going into Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings.
You should also reset all settings by going to ‘Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings’. Doing this will both remove it from the ‘Find My iPhone’ list as well as the ‘Activation Lock’ feature. You can check by going to ‘Settings -> iCloud -> Find My iPhone’. Make certain the Find My iPhone tab is clicked off.
Remotely Remove Apple ID from iPhone
You can force the Apple network to remove your account from the device remotely by doing the following:
– Go to https://www.icloud.com/#find. Enter your Apple ID and password.
– Click ‘All Devices’ and select the device that you want to remove your account from.
– Click ‘Erase’ and then you’ll be prompted to enter your Apple ID and password again to confirm that is what you want to do.
Once this is complete, the next time the device is powered on, the content and the account will be erased from the phone. Once this routine is complete, Apple will send you a confirmation email. If you do not get the email, then you may have to power on the device and erase your content as described above.
