HELP!  Anyone know how to delete a Google Home Mini device from your Home Group and re-setup?HELP! Anyone know how to delete a Google Home Mini device from your Home Group and re-setup? I’ve had 2 of my GH Minis that constantly drop off my GH Group. Every 15-30 minutes they both reboot with the “chord-ding-ding-bling” sound, like they’re ready to reinstall. They are both visible on my GH app as “Kitchen speaker” and “Living Room speaker”. I have unplugged them, rebooted, and tried repeatedly to remove them from my Wi-Fi network, my home group, then re-add them to my network, but when I reboot, Google Home app always shows them showing up as “Kitchen speaker” and “Living room speaker” and still connected to my Wi-Fi, but not linked to any room of my house, won’t let me rename them to “Kitchen Mini” or “Liv Room Mini”, won’t let me add them to my home group, or their respective rooms “Kitchen” or “Living room”, won’t let me add my news or music services, or delete or reinstall them. They both have an ex-girlfriend showing as a linked account, and there is NO way possible to delete her either, which I think might be part of the problem. (She’s been gone 2 years thankfully! ) Does anyone know any way of wiping them clean and doing a clean factory reboot and re-add, as if I had just gotten them out of the box from the store? I consider myself a bit of a Google Home guru for the past few years, but this has got me stumped! I’ve searched all over Google’s help pages, and clicked on every known option in Google Home app to remove, reboot and reinstall, but they just will NOT let me do it. HELP! Any ideas?

I had the exact same issue once. I had to fully delete the entire Google home and start from scratch. Had to reassign absolutely everything. It was the only way to do it
