De-provisioning an Agent and removing it from your Account
To de-provision the TeamViewer IoT agent from the remote device, run the de-provisioning command from your IoT device:

sudo teamviewer-iot-agent unmanage
Alternatively, you can delete the device from your Computer & Contacts list. This will result in the same behavior as the de-provisioning command.
