Remove devices from WiFi network

Google states that devices fall off the network after inactivity for greater than 30 days. I do not see this happening. How can we manually remove unknown or inactive devices manually? I thought Google was going to update this feature? Appreciate some feedback and/or discussion.

You can't manually remove devices. Only thing you can do is to factory reset and set up from scratch.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


I don't work for Google.

Hey folks, 

@olavrb, appreciate your helpful response. 
@bamattes, chiming in to ensure everything is good here. Have you had the chance to try the suggestion above? If yes, how is it?

Best,

I know factory reset works but that’s not what I am looking for. Other systems allow you to manually remove devices, not sure why Google won’t allow it.
