  <title>Disconnect a Bluetooth device</title>

  <p>If you do not 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>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Bluetooth</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Bluetooth</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the device which you want to disconnect from the list.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the device dialog box, switch the <gui>Connection</gui> switch to
      off, or to remove the device from the <gui>Devices</gui> list,
      click <gui>Remove Device</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
