remove old system after upgrading
So I just upgraded and installed a new system in my home. How do I go about removing the old system from my profile..
The new system shows active and in practice mode. The old system still shows up under my account but doesn't show as active. I did remove all of the sensors,keyfob and keypad but the base station and my profile for it is still visible. I don't want to be charged twice for monitoring. I just want the old system to be gone when I pull up my account.
I see the search function is as useless as it was when I first started with SimpliSafe.

Hi @fromphilly ,
I can imagine you wouldn't find the right answer on the Community since you've encountered a rare issue.
Normally, when upgrading, what we would do is replace the Base Station registered under your existing service with the new Base Station.
But instead, it sounds like what happened is that you created a whole new service. So of course your old one would still exist.
But no worries, here's how to hide that deactivated account:

Nice try! I would suggest you review the solution you gave me. It doesn't work!
I clicked on your link to simplisafe.com/login and nowhere does it say menu on the page. I double clicked on one of the base stations and then I saw "Manage account". If that's what it takes then that's what you should've said. It's no wonder people get frustrated. We can only read what you write. We can't read your mind.
Anyhow I scrolled down and saw "protected locations" and guess what? There are no visible boxes to check or uncheck to hide the base station I'm no longer using.
So tell me, Davey, what else do you have? Maybe someone more knowledgeable can make 2656FB base station disappear.

Yes, @fromphilly , if you have multiple properties listed, you might see the Property Management screen. I wasn't anticipating you'd see that if you only had two. But I'm glad you found the right place anyway.
So when you go to your Manage Account screen, you should see a list of your Protected Locations, with a checkbox on the far right where you can hide locations that are no longer active. However, one thing I didn't mention is that locations can only be hidden if they're inactive - i.e. if the service plan is canceled. So your old account is likely still active.
I have taken the liberty of requesting a call from a Specialist. They'll look into this for you and make sure that your old plan is canceled.

I have the same problem and am getting emails from you saying that my system is not communicating. I've tried changing my account ID which is the old system and it won't let me.
