Why can’t I find anything specific?
There is some documentation out there but nothing truly user friendly, as such, this is my documentation with video on how to reset your Google Home Hub Mini.
How to factory reset Google Home Mini
At the base of your Google Home Hub Mini, you will see a small circle, it’s not different in colour, it’s more of an outline (See picture)
Simply press and hold this for 5 seconds, your Google Home Hub assistant should then notify you the reset is starting.
Keep holding the button and you will hear a confirmation of the device resetting.
If you’re not sure if you’re doing it right, please see the video below:

Simply hold the microphone mute button (On the back of the speaker) for 15 seconds. Similar to my video above, you will hear a voice tell you that it is resetting whilst you hold it.
Simply let go before the 15 seconds is complete to terminate this process.
