Cannot delete Nest Smoke Alarms from Google Home App

I have 10 Nest Protect Smoke alarms, all of which expired last month.

I have replaced all of them.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them from my Google Home app. I've moved them all to a new room called "Delete", to at least consolidate the mess. But there seems to be no delete device button in the configuration or three dots menu. What am I doing wrong?

Okay. Figured it out.

It's impossible to delete the device in the Google Home app, go figure.

You have to go to the old Nest app, click on the Protect icon, then click the gear and delete them one by one.

Good riddance, Protect.

Thanks for the update. I have one expiring in September. Google has really dropped the ball on this one. The supposed replacement is not available in Canada. I would like to leave a bad review, but I cannot see how.
