In the Google Home app (the A profile icon) located at the bottom right tab, you can choose Settings. After that, choose the second tab, Assistant. Search for Assistant devices connected to your Google account even though you do not have any access to it right now. Tap the account that you want to remove.
If you can access the device’s settings, you can scroll it down and find Personal results, there you can disable it if you do not want to let others access your emails, photos, and calendar.
