Is there any way to remove duplicate devices from sync?

Since I have been trying out Firefox Preview more and more duplicate devices have been getting added to my sync and there are currently 9 of them. I have not found a way to remove these devices since they do not show up in the Firefox device management page. The way they seem to have been added is when I have been signed out of sync on Firefox Preview and I have had to sign back in.

Hi

We are still working to make the Firefox Accounts experiance even better in Firefox Preview, but if you are signed into your Firefox Account in either Firefox on a desktop (by going to https://accounts.firefox.com) or Firefox for Android (at about:accounts?action=manage) and select Devices & apps to be able tidy up any duplicate applications.

Looking at the devices & apps page was the first thing I tried but none of the Firefox Preview devices show up there so I am not able to remove them this way.

I have looked into this further and have found that Firefox Preview currently displays as "Firefox Sync", something that we hope to improved the clarity of in a future update.

I have tried removing that before and that also doesn't remove any of the Firefox Preview devices for me

If you do not mind me asking, what device ID do you have listed? (please feel free to obscure any laptop/phone model ID)
