Maybe I'm missing the way to do this, but does anyone know how to delete old backup codes without the associated PAAK devices?
My story goes like this: I cracked my main phone's screen pretty brutally while washing/claying/waxing/ceramic coating my Mustang Mach-E, so I sent it in for repairs like any normal person would. While my phone was off getting worked on, I set up my old phone for PAAK and created a new backup code and everything else that's required, figured this would be my temporary solution.
Well, I just got my main phone back, and since it was reset during the screen repair process, I had to set up PAAK all over again. Didn't seem like such a big deal. But when I got to the create a backup code section, I tried to enter my original code that was associated with my phone but I get the error stating something along the lines of "This code is already associated with another device, please try again." Alrighty, so I enter my backup to my backup code, (which obviously got me the same result as this was the code to my old temporary solution device).
So now I'm on my backup to my backup backup code (Let's hope I remember this if I ever need to use it!). And I cannot find a way to clear the previous 2 backup codes as Ford doesn't recognize my main phone for the original code since the factory reset, and my backup device was also factory reset once I got my main phone back up and running after the screen repairs. (I guess in hindsight the second code could have been deleted if I knew it was required to be in the car pre data wipe).
