How do you delete devices from your list of devices on google nest?

If you’re referring to simply removing them from the list of recent devices, you can’t. After a period of time they will disappear. Now, If you’re worried about security and access of those devices to your network, you should change your WiFi password. 

How much time?  The populated to Google Home from Google Wifi, have not been active for over two years, and I can't delete them like I could on Google Wifi.

Hey, WoodyB.

I saw you asking about devices being listed. What Foggerton said was correct, and the devices will drop off over time if they aren't connecting to the network any longer. Most devices will drop off after 60 days of total inactivity. Sometimes a device will remain there longer, as californiadream has reported. And while we don't have the ability to manually edit the list, it is something that people have asked about and we've suggested to our internal teams that it might be a feature to consider adding to the product.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi, WoodyB.
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Thanks.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
