Unclear if you mean how to erase a device using iCloud or how to remove a device from your iCloud device list.


Erase a device in Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/erase-your-device-mmfc0ef36f/icloud - "If your iOS device, Apple Watch, or Mac is lost or stolen, you can erase it if you set up Find My iPhone on the device before it was lost."


- "After you erase a device, you can’t use Find My iPhone to locate the device or play a sound on it."

- "When you remotely erase a device, Activation Lock remains on to protect it. "
