The guide originally was for players to be able to remove any villager of your choice without having to TT 5/15/etc. days at a time. But it's been shown to be able to remove plots that are glitched with "I've moved out".
Credit where credit is due: This has been done via a few threads in /r/AdoptMyVillager from reddit. I will link them at the bottom.
Preface: It's important to know that if you use this to remove a glitched plot, you'll lose whatever villager that was originally supposed to move in there. Do this at your own risk knowing the repercussion (losing the villager). Nintendo MAY patch this soon, but that's all speculation for now.
For this method to work to reset your glitched plot, your glitched plot villager must have not been the latest to move in. If they are the last person to move in, they won't be pinged. So if this is your case, you have to move somebody else in before starting this method.
GUIDE
1. Prior to starting any of this. Make sure that you've talked to all of your villagers for that day - including any villagers you don't want to leave.
2. Time travel exactly 1 month and 1 day forward (ex: April 18 → May 19).
3. Start up your game as normal. Once you join the game, save and quit (press -).
4. Time travel exactly 1 month backward (ex: May 19 → April 19).
From this point, whenever you leave the game (other than if the I've moved out plot or villager you want to leave has pinged to leave) you will do so by pressing the HOME button and then X to quit the game.
5. Start up your game as normal. Once you join, look for the villager you want to leave/check if your glitched house is gone
IMPORTANT: You are trying to beat the clock so that the game doesn't autosave once you've left your house. This has been shown to be around the 2-3 minute mark
If you're using this guide to remove somebody from your island: If the villager you want to leave isn't out and about, doesn't have a thought bubble, or if some other villager has the thought bubble → Immediately press HOME and X to quit the game and move on to Step 6.
If you're using this guide to remove a glitched "I've moved out" plot: If the house has not reverted back to a plot → Immediately press HOME and X to quit the game and move on to Step 6.
If you were able to find the villager you want to move out/removed the glitched plot: Tell the villager to move out/confirm the plot is available → Press - and save your game and exit the way you've always done.
6. From the HOME screen, time travel 1 day forward (ex: April 19 → April 20).
7. Go back to Step 5 and repeat
Note: You're basically going to be in a cycle of look for villager who moved out/plot that glitched → quit game via HOME screen → move forward one day until your goal is accomplished.

Some Important Notes:
- You may encounter villagers that ask to leave. Even if you don't want them to leave, you don't have to talk to them. They will not leave if you don't talk to them.
- If you accidentally leave via - button (save and quit) you will have to restart this method. Reasoning: Whoever was decided to leave on that day will most likely be wanting to leave the next day. The rationale for this method is: When you TT forward a month and a day, the game decides on a villager that will leave. Every single time you TT back, the game will think you are moving forward a day, but the villager that was chosen to leave when you TT forward a month will reset. So the first time you do this, the game thinks you're moving May 19 → April 19. When you "move forward a day in step 6" the game will think you are moving May 19 → April 20 because the game didn't save that you played on April 19.
- Doing this method re-rolls whoever is chosen to leave every time - allowing you to basically grind it out until the 1/10 chance picks the villager you want to leave. This avoids having to use the 15/5 day method where you have to continually talk to villagers to reset the choice.
- Most people have been able to remove their glitched house via this method fairly quickly (within 10-30 minutes of doing this).
- A lot of people have hypothesized that this was due to the fact that when your plot resets, it's because the game chose whoever your glitched villager was to move out.
- You will lose this villager, but you can get them back immediately via trade with another player (or island hopping, or random luck)
