How to delete a private space I forgot the password to?

cndcodes

Set up the space with this long-ass gibberish password only for my password generator to crash before I could save it. 🤦Didn't enable fingerprint/PIN unlock because I was intentionally trying to make it hard for myself to access the space. (I was planning to use it for social media apps that I have to have for work but don't want easily accessible otherwise. Maybe a separate work/user profile would be better for this? Suggestions welcome.)

Overlay1404 Sorry but it doesn't work like this. To delete the secret space first you have you enter the password and oif you forgot it you are lost like me. I have the same problem.

Instructions from - Delete from System settings using device lock

On your Android device, open your device’s Settings app.
Tap System and then Reset Options and then Delete private space.
Enter your device PIN.
Tap Delete.

Tip: The “Reset private space” action under System Settings also shows when you don’t have a private space. If someone else uses your device, they can’t tell that you have a private space when they find “Reset private space” in the Settings app. This option can be used to delete private space if you forget the private space lock, and want to reset the space.

MrJohndoe might of been my misunderstanding. The way I read the OP was that they had set a different password for their private space and then forgot it. The password needed to reset / delete the space would just be the owner profile password which I had assumed OP still knew.
