[Q] Backup Data with Google Account

Hello All,
Is there any way to access the settings and data stored in your gmail account for your phone?
When you click Backup my settings etc with my google account when you first install gapps it downloads all the apps you previously had on your phone from the market - just wondering where this data for my phone is stored?
Thanks for any help

If you sign into Google and click your email address in the top right corner' then account settings, click products on the left and sign into dashboard on the right. You'll then see your android devices. Hope that helps.

You can try to clear the data in all google applications like gmail, gtalk, play store etc... then reboot and start the play store for example and re-enter your new gmail account. The gtalk account depends on the account that you have synched with your phone.

I don't have that problem except ok Google when screen is locked, have you granted all permissions in the permissions app and auto start the apps.

For Google contacts, you can download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en

Ya, that's what we're saying in the GOOGLE OK not working thread. but hey, you got contacts working. that was driving me nuts for a long while.
Oh, also depending on which messaging app you use, I use hangouts, the person that's "related" to a phone number may not update even if you have that person's phone number in contacts. It's a painful way to fix it, if you have lots of this happening, but it's quick enough. lmk if you want that.

Help with Google Home App

I'm stuck with 24 corrupted home structures that I can't delete. Google knows it's a bug but has offered no timeline on a fix. Right now there are no home automation accounts connected to my account or the Google home app. Previously the only home automation app I had installed was the kasa app for a smart plug. But I have since disconnected it from my account and removed the device from the home app. When I look on my kids phones in the home app, I do not see any home automation connected to their account. Neither of their accounts have the option to remove the extra empty home structures which cannot be deleted from my account. Also, my backup email account, which I used to try and fix this whole issue, does not show the undeletable home structures. I completely deleted all information from my Google home app and my kids Google home apps before I factory reset all the devices and set everything back up. When I set everything back up, I started with only my account. And at that time the undeletable home structures were already there, before I linked my kids accounts. So, unlinking them (from voice match) does not help to remove the undeletable home structures.
Right before I noticed the undeletable home structures, the main things that I can think of are:
I removed myself as a home member (there where no home members in the home structure).
I deleted all devices and home structures.
I factory reset the device (Google home speaker).
I cleared all data for home app, Google app, Google play services, Google play store, and Google services framework. I disabled all of those apps that I could and reinstalled the updated versions (there was no way to completely deactivate or uninstall Google play services on my phone).
For my online information, I went into my Google account and deleted every single thing that I could, from my timeline history to all of my web activity, etc... I also went in to connected apps, and deleted the item that said Google home as well as the item that said Google Assistant connected device. Now that everything is set up again, in connected apps, there is an item for Google Assistant connected device, but there is no item for Google home.
I removed my Google account from my phone and re-added it.
I factory reset my wireless router.
Finally, I also went into my Google drive and deleted my backup for my phone before I factory reset it.
I really believe that the issue has to be a bug with the home app and refreshing the data on the server. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I removed all home members, and then deleted the devices & Home structures, as well as factory reset the devices.
Also, I really wonder if it has something to do with different versions of the home app. For example when I was troubleshooting, I tried logging in on a different device. On my old phone, I was logged in with an older version of the home app and an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). However, even if I log back in on that device, there is no option to see the undeletable home structures. So I have no way to delete them even from an old version of the app. Also, when I first linked my kids accounts, it was on their tablets, which was using the older version of the home app, as well as an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). Now they are using the newer version of the Google home app on their phones which have Android 7. And I'm using the newest version of the Google home app on Android 9 pie on my pixel 2 XL.
I'd really like to get this figured it out before I continue to add my other devices to the Google home app. Any help/feedback would be appreciated!
If nothing else, why can't they just have an option to manually delete any home structures from within the Google home app? There are separate areas for devices, rooms, and groups (within a home structure). Why can't they add a different area that lists all of the homes you are a member of, with the option to remove yourself and delete the home structure? Right now my account says that I am a home member of 25 different home structures. But I'm actually only a home member of one home structure. When I click on one of the empty home structures, it just sends me back to the one working structure that I have. So I have absolutely no way to delete the empty home structures. Even adding an option to completely delete all Google home app data from the servers would be a great option, that many people would appreciate.

Here is Google's official response so far:
"Our Engineering Team has informed that they don't have the option to wipe the account and it's not recommended. For now our workaround for this fix is using an alternate account."
Here is my reply back:
At this thread (https://support.google.com/googlehome/thread/624656?hl=en) there were others with the same issue and the problem was fixed by someone at support fixing their broken Google Home data in the cloud/server/back-end. They must have that option. Why could they fix it for others but not for me?
Why would it not be recommended? It would just be like starting over for the Google Home data. In fact, why isn't that an option yet, to be able to easily delete/reset all Google Home data? There are options to delete everything else account related (web activity, timeline, etc...). I think we should be able to delete/reset our Google Home data too.
How does using a different account help? I want to be able to access my own information and services.
Will there still be a definite fix for my issue? When will that fix happen?

Sorry for my absence in posting. My problem has actually been fixed since March 13th, but not before some work on my end. I actually searched around and emailed the Google Cast/Google Home Developers and got a reply from one very helpful Developer. We exchanged emails, I provided lots of details, and he was able to look into my account and eventually fix the issue. It took a couple weeks but eventually the broken home structures were gone. I still don't know what caused it or how they fixed it. I asked about other people with the same issue, and he replied that they were working on a fix for everybody but it could take a while. Hopefully now the issue is fixed. I don't want to give out his email because he was nice enough to help me and I don't want tons of people trying to contact him. So please don't ask. But have hope that if your issue isn't solved yet, there really is a team working on issues and there really should be a fix at some point.
