Whenever I try to build an iOS app to my iPhone device I get the following error:
Your development team has reached the maximum number of registered iPhone devices.
I've previously had a Developer Program Membership that is now expired that I used to build apps on my old iPhone.
How can I delete that old iPhone from my list of devices? The Apple Developer support page says I should go to Certificates, IDs & Profiles at https://developer.apple.com/account/ but I can't find that menu.

As a member of the iPhone Developer Program you are assigned 100 device "slots," allowing you to add up to 100 devices in the iPhone Program Portal in a membership year. Adding a device registers it to be used for developing and testing apps, or for sharing your app with other users via Ad Hoc Distribution.
You can have ten devices (no more than five computers) associated with your Apple ID for purchases at one time. When you try to associate a device that was previously associated, you might notice a message that says, "This device is associated with another Apple ID.
You have to wait until your apple developer account has been renewed, then visit the provisioning center and tap on devices. This is your ONE AND ONLY opportunity for the year to prune your device list. Click the devices you want to remove and tap on 'remove selected' at the bottom of the screen.
To register devices:Log into your developer.apple.com account and click on Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. On navigation menu, click Devices. Click the blue plus button to register a device.
I believe this is a problem with paid developer accounts that have expired and become free developer accounts. Technically free accounts are limited to 3 devices. If you have a previous paid account that had more than 3, I bet Apple didn't clear out those devices, which means you are over your limit of devices. Other are experiencing the issue here.
I think your best move would be to sign up for a new, free account, or pay to restore your access to the full 100 device limit for a paid individual account.

Contacted the Apple Developer Program Support who solved it by deleting the old devices associated to the old membership.
