I'm trying to follow online guides like [this](https://support.hestancue.com/en/support/solutions/articles/19000093815-android-how-to-clear-the-app-and-bluetooth-cache-) or [this](https://www.airdroid.com/remote-control/fix-bluetooth-not-working-android-problem/) to clear the bluetooth storage on my Pixel 5a.
1. Settings > Apps > All > Triple Dots > Show System > Bluetooth
1. Storage & Cache
1. I want to tap "Clear cache" but the button is disabled:
How can I clear the Bluetooth settings?

The reason I'm trying this is I'm having problems with pairing my Pixel Buds, but only from *my* phone. I can successfully pair them from my macbook, and can set them up from another Pixel. But on my phone during Set Up it runs for a while, then fails with the error message:
> Couldn't connect
Try manually pairing to the device by going to Settings
And the Pixel Buds have been renamed to "Carl's Pixel Buds" but they're not connected. Trying to connect by tapping on the entry in bluetooth, nothing happens.
