Help??? I cant remove my samsung account

I was logged out of my Samsung account, and now I can't get back in. It's because the number for the account is a phone number I don't have anymore and I can't log into the account without a verification code that is sent to that number (that I no longer have in case you missed that) and I can't remove the account without being logged into it. So I literally cannot get the account off my phone and I've even tried factory reseting it and I can't reset the device without logging into the account first for some reason, so there's literally nothing I can do and I get notifications every few minutes saying "log into your Samsung account" and every time I try it doesn't work and I'm getting increasingly frustrated to the point I might just get back different phone that isn't even a Samsung so I won't have this issue in the future

Have you tried contacting Samsung for help to recover your account?

Is there a option that says forget?
