If your Google Home Mini isn’t working properly or you're planning to give it away, performing a factory reset is a simple way to erase all personal data and settings. Here's how to factory reset your Google Home Mini in just a few steps:
For the 1st generation Google Home Mini, press and hold the factory reset button located below the power cord on the base of the device. Hold it for about 15 seconds until you hear a sound confirming the reset process has started. Keep holding until the device restarts.

For the 2nd generation Nest Mini, the method is slightly different. First, turn off the microphone using the switch on the side. The lights on the top will turn orange. Then, press and hold the center of the device (where the lights are) for around 15 seconds. You'll hear a confirmation sound, and the device will begin resetting.
Once reset, the Google Home Mini will be restored to its factory settings. You’ll need to set it up again using the Google Home app on your phone. Factory resetting can help resolve software issues or prepare the device for a new user. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
