  <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>
