I am trying to reset an old nest mini to factory settings but can't figure out how to do it through the Google home app.

Hi @Geoffrey75 

You cannot reset the Nest mini by using the Google Home app.

On the side of your device, switch the mic off. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Mini, where the lights are on top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.
