User level: Level 1 (12 points)I attempted to factory reset my AirPods Pro 2 by removing from bluetooth list and now cannot reconnect. Holding the AirPods close to iPhone with lid open and holding the case button for 15 seconds causes light to flash amber but not white. Tried to turn off bluetooth on iPhone for 5 seconds and then turning back on also does not do anything.
Any suggestions?

Just simply removing it from the Bluetooth list will not factory reset your Airpods Pro 2. Also, when you hold the button for ~15 seconds on the case it will then start the real factory reset, which was signified from the amber light. The factory reset usually takes a couple of minutes for me. After the light is done throbbing amber, then you can start the pairing process to your iPhone with your factory reset AirPods.
