Apparently, you can't delete Gemini because it is integrated with blah blah blah...

But you CAN switch back from Gemini to the old Google Assistant like this:

Switch back to Google Assistant:
Open the Gemini app.
Go to your profile picture or initial, then tap on "Switch to Google Assistant".
Confirm your choice.

You can then go back to saying "Ok google" or "Hey Google".

I tried it. It worked.
