I have a linked bluetooth device. I can select "remove device" and it disappears, but when I turn it off and on again it immediate reconnects.
I have also removed via bluetoothctl with the same problem:
$ bluetoothctl paired-devices
Device 38:EC:0D:87:65:DB AirPods Pro
$ bluetoothctl remove 38:EC:0D:87:65:DB
How can I permanently remove it?
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
From a terminal enter bluetoothctl this will list all bluetooth devices. For example:
$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller 00:C2:C6:BC:22:5C Pairable: yes
Next you must type remove and the ID of the controller 00:C2:C6:BC:22:5C
bluetoothctl paired-devices to get the controller ID, which I then removed. The problem persists.
