Galaxy a8 2018 android ver 9 unable to remove a device from bluetooth list

[Android Central Question]

i WANT TO REMOVE A BLUETTOTH DEVICE FROM THE BLUETTOTH LIST ON MY PHONE. I click on unpair but the phone keeps trying to connevt again to the speakers. To get around, I must turn bluettoth off. I cannot find an option to remove that device from the list . It keeps coming back and wants the password to connect to the speakers.

Welcome to Android Central! What happens if you long-press the device name in the Settings>Bluetooth menu? Do you see a Forget Device option there?

Hi, welcome!
The reset didn't work?

No, there is no option to tell the phone to remove the device. And I cannot turn off bluetooth on the device itself. Small MINT speakers. It used to be ok but i cannot remember how long ago.

You can also try the Reset Network Settings option: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a8-2018/reset-network-settings/

Tried the clear cache and data. Same thing happens. I enable bluetooth and it connects to the speakers right away. I thought there was an option way before to tell the phone to forget about a device. Not just unpair. It seems the option vanished.

The 2 ways I suggested should of wiped Bluetooth device and make you pair again

The anoying thing is taht I dont want the speakers to pair. I just want bluetooth to be ON and available. When it goes to the speakers, it sends the sound to the speakers. Very strange. Tks everyone for your help. If you ever find a solution or if I find onr, I will share for sure.

Try also wiping the system cache partition: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a8-2018/wipe-cache/
