  5. Select Your Computer:

  6. Unlink the Device:

    • Tap on the computer's entry to open its settings. Here, you will see an option to "Unlink this device." Select this option to disconnect your computer from your WhatsApp account. This action will clear all conversation history and data stored on that particular computer.
