Further, note that resetting and Echo Dot takes it offline in the Alexa app, although you can still see it listed there. Thus, resetting does not delete the speaker from the Alexa app. So if you’re selling it, be sure to, in addition to resetting the speaker, remove it from your Amazom account via the Alexa app.
Finally, if you have no access to the Alexa app, you can deregister the Echo Dot from your Amazon account via the Amazon website at https://alexa.amazon.com/ .
