How can I force restart Alexa?

To enforce a restart of your Alexa device, disconnect your Echo from its power source for approximately 30 seconds before reconnecting it. This strategy is effective for eradicating minor bugs and rebooting the system in the device. In case your Echo device comes equipped with removable batteries, try taking out the battery and reinserting it. If the device remains unresponsive post these steps, resorting to a factory reset could be considered as a final solution.
