Resetting your Google Nest Hub to factory settings isn’t something you’ll do often. In fact, most people will probably never come across a reason to reset their Nest Hub. But if you’re having trouble with your device or you’re about to sell it, then you’ll be glad to know that Google gives you an easy way to accomplish the task.
Here’s an overview of how to factory reset your Google Nest Hub, along with a few reasons why you might want to do it.

Reasons for reset
There are several reasons why a person might want to factory reset their Google Nest Hub. Perhaps the most obvious is that they will upgrade to the Google Nest Hub Max and no longer need the Nest. A factory reset would allow you to sell your old hub or give it to a friend or family member without your account being linked to that device.
Another reason to reset involves security. Considering how many data breaches and device hacks have been in the news this past year, it’s understandable that you’re wary of any device that might be hacked or otherwise share your data. A factory reset of the hub would erase all your data from the device.
You can also administer a rollback if you keep running into technical issues. If the device is malfunctioning, such as neglecting to answer questions or connect to your Wi-Fi network, then a good, old-fashioned factory reset might be in order.

Ready, set, reset
Unfortunately, you can’t use the app or voice controls to factory reset your Google Nest Hub, but there is an easy alternative. To reset the Google Nest Hub, all you have to do is press and hold both volume buttons on the right side (back of the screen) for 10 seconds using two fingers. It is the one and only step. The device will automatically restart and then you are done. If you ever can’t remember how to do this, you can simply say, “Hey Google, factory reset,” and Assistant will tell you how to perform a factory reset.
