How do I unlink a Google Calendar account from Alexa without getting stuck in a loop


To unlink a Google Calendar account from Alexa without getting stuck in a loop, follow these steps carefully:

1. Open the Alexa App: Start by opening the Alexa app on your device. This is where you manage all your linked accounts.

2. Navigate to Settings: Tap on "More" and then select "Settings" from the list of options.

3. Select Calendar: In the Settings menu, choose "Calendar" to manage your linked calendar accounts.

4. Choose Your Account: Select "Google" from the list of available calendar providers.

5. Unlink Account: Tap on your Google account to access the unlink option. You should see an option to "Unlink" or "Disconnect" your account. Tap on it and confirm the action.

6. Confirm Unlinking: You might be prompted to confirm that you want to unlink your account. Make sure to tap on "Confirm" to complete the process.

If you encounter a loop during this process, as described in some user experiences, here are additional steps you can try:

- Close and Reopen the App: If you get stuck in a loop, try closing the Alexa app completely and reopening it. This can sometimes resolve the issue by refreshing the app's state.

- Check for Multiple Profiles: Ensure there are no additional profiles or accounts linked that might be causing the loop. If you have multiple profiles, check each one to see if the Google account is linked in any of them[1].

- Reset Alexa Device: If the issue persists, try resetting your Alexa device. This will remove all linked accounts and settings, allowing you to start fresh. However, this should be a last resort as it will erase all your customizations.

- Contact Support: If none of the above steps work, consider reaching out to Amazon Alexa support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or resolve the issue on their end.

Remember, if you've recently changed your Google account password, you might need to relink your account after unlinking it due to authentication issues[9].
