  <title>Remove a connection between Bluetooth devices</title>

  <p>If you don't want to be connected to a Bluetooth device anymore, you can
  remove the connection. This is useful if you no longer want to use a device
  like a mouse or headset, or if you no longer wish to transfer files to or
  from a device.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
    <if:choose>
      <if:when test="platform:unity">
      <p>Click the Bluetooth icon in the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select
      <gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui>.</p>
      </if:when>
      <p>Click the system status area of the top bar.</p>
    </if:choose>
    </item>
    <item>
    <if:choose>
      <if:when test="platform:gnome-shell">
      <p>Select <gui>Bluetooth</gui>. The Bluetooth section of the menu will
      expand.</p>
      </if:when>
    </if:choose>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the device you want to disconnect from the list.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the device dialogue box, switch <gui>Connection</gui> to
      <gui>OFF</gui> and click <gui>Done</gui>, or to remove the device from
      the <gui>Devices</gui> list, click <gui>Remove Device</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
