How to remove iCloud from your device(s)

There are two ways to remove iCloud Activation lock from your device(s). 

Removing the Activation lock using your device:

- Go to Settings
- Click on the very first option (Your name)
- Scroll all the way down and click on Sign Out
- Click on "Sign Out of iCloud and Store"
- After Signing out of the Apple ID, Go back to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone >  Erase All Content and Settings

Removing your Activation lock via another device:
(For devices that cannot navigate to the settings menu)

- Log in to your account at http://www.icloud.com/find
- From the middle drop-down menu, find the device you want to unlock and click on it
- Click on “Remove from Account” -

PLEASE NOTE  “Erase” is NOT the correct option and will NOT remove your activation lock. You have to remove the device from your account. Sometimes even after erasing your device, the iCloud lock can still remain in place.
