Home assistant green

[desert arch]

Hi I have a green Home Assistant and I put a HDD connected to the Home Assistant via USB and without believing it, I transferred all the data to the HDD instead of being in the Home Assistant. Does anyone know how to reverse this?

your best option is probably to create a backup. download it to another machine (ensuring you have to encryption key stored too).
then unplug the usb drive and perform a reset of the green. this will return it to out the box condition. then during the unboarding process you can upload the backup file and restore your data to the system which will be using the internal storage.

I also have paid for the nabu, can I replace it through there?

I already tried to do the reset, I did as in the video, I waited an hour and a half and nothing

if you have a backup uploaded to home assistant cloud then yes you can restore from that during the unboarding process. this option was added recently. theres an option to log in to retreive your backup during the onboarding process.
just be sure that you have the encryption key as you will need it to unlock the backup

when your ready you can just pull the power and usb drive then start at step 2

if this fails there is an option to reset using an SD card which you can try
