While trying to change my new wifi to my old Chromecast I accidentally deleted. I need it to factory reset but I deleted. I can't recovered. I wanted to set it up again and it tells me that that device is already being used that i need to factory resent but I can't cause is not in my home list. What can I do?

Hi @Mo24 

You can do a factory reset by using the hardware button on the device.

Check this link on how to factory resetting your Chromecast. 🙂

Thanks for answering. Unfortunately my dice is old doesn't have the reset button. I don't even have the title of the device on my home Chromecast. But when i try to set it up agai(like fresh) it says that the device is already been set up and it takes me back to square one. I tried so many ways but it doesn't allow me to factory reset.

Hi @Mo24 

Every Chromecast device has a button so it should have one.

But they are pretty well hidden. 😉
