A simple factory reset can be a good option if you plan to pass your Google Home Mini on to someone else, or maybe you're facing a technical fault with the speaker itself. Unfortunately, there's no way to factory reset the Home Mini using your voice or the Google Home app. But don't worry, the process of resetting your Home Mini is quite simple, and we'll show you how.

Resetting the Google Home smart speaker will erase all your saved data, including any accounts you may have linked, and any saved information it has about you such as Wi-Fi details and your email address. It also removes the device from your Google Home app, and you have to set it up as new again.

Before proceeding with restoring your first generation Google Home Mini speaker, make sure your device is connected with a cable. The reset process is easy here as it has a dedicated reset button.

The recovery process for the 2nd generation Home Mini is almost the same as the first. The steps are a bit different here as there is no reset button.
