So have have been researching and trying to find a solution to this issue with no luck.

I have the Link to Windows that I have been using. However, it lists several devices that are no longer in use. I can not find a way to remove these devices. Any suggestions or ideas?

It is the same device list multiple time because of a system restore. On active connection it says "Windows Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Mobile devices." That doesn't work on the active connection nor old connections. I have tried signing out than back in. 

I have consider doing trying a factory reset on the phone but that is a big project and shouldn't have to be done.

You could try doing a Windows registry search for one of the no longer used devices and this may provide the registry location where Link To Windows stores its device list. If so, you can edit the registry, deleting devices you no longer want listed in Link To Windows.

It is on the phone (Samsung S24+) where devices are listed. I know how to use Windows regedit. Does Android have a similar option?

To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing similar to regedit for Android. I haven't used the Link to Windows app. If you tap on the gear to the right of each computer listed in yourscreenshot, which should open Settings, there's no delete option there?

Nope. This is what comes up. I can't do this on a device that is been restore or no accessible. Even on connected devices it does not remove from list on Android.

And the disconnect option at the bottom of the screen doesn't remove the device from the list?

You should create an error report in the Support area here in the Members app describing the problem and see what the response is from Samsung tech support.

That I didn't know was a option. Do you have the URL or instructions that you could post/send?
