Prune list of

I'm a bit of a hobbyist and often advise people on managing systems, so I frequently install and reinstall Windows on multiple systems. When I install a Windows 11 system and log in with my Microsoft account, I'm presented with a LONG list of past Windows installations from which I can import settings. The vast number of these are just trials I'd rather delete. Is there any way I can prune that list? If there's a way to access the list from my account on the Microsoft website, I don't know it.

    By the way, the "Devices" list in my Microsoft account is completely empty, even though I'm currently managing three Windows devices associated with the account. Over time they just disappeared from the account, one by one, for some reason, though at least my BitLocker keys are still there. (P.S. Sorry for the incomplete title; if I could edit it I would.)
