I have a 2016 Encore. I encountered the same issue that my Bluetooth would not delete paired devices. I fixed this problem by opening the door all the way and starting the car with the door remaining all the way opened and parked; turn off radio if not already (pressing the power/vol button in the middle of console turns radio off) and just press the Home button on console to scroll back to configurations. The paired devices had to be deleted while the door remains all the way open. I didn’t have to wait 5 minutes.

Yep! Just keep the door open when you go to delete the decices. Worked right away. 🙏

We had the same problem with my wife's Encore. Dealer didn't know how to do it. This will sound weird but here's the procedure:

Turn the key on but don't start it. Make sure there are no USB devices connected. Turn the car off. Open the driver's door fully and leave it open for 5 full minutes. If you have a proximity key with a Start button in the car take the car in the house away from the car. This will force a reset of the blue tooth. Start the car after the 5 minutes and try to delete the old devices again.

It worked!!! Thank you...

I have a 2016 Encore. We have tried the same thing as you did. Will not delete. Dealership wants to charge over $100 to fix it. My reply? The previous devices should have been deleted when I bought the car.

I know this is old post , but instead of phone settings go to radio settings check system update , either way if it’s up to date or not reset radio and it should delete all paired devices and as long as the car is stationary should let u connect devices

I know this is old but I have same car, the above didn’t work either … instead of going to phone settings go to radio settings check radio system update , either way whether it is up to date or not reset radio settings and it should delete all paired devices and keep car stationary and should be able to pair after

It worked for me. Started car ,opened door wide open, radio off USB unplugged and started deleting previous phones. Took less than a minute.

Thanks for this brilliant way to fix the bluetooth list delete in my 2016 buick verano. Didn't even have to wait 5 min. Just left door open with engine running and radio off. The old bluetooth list has been deleted. Thank goodness.
