What is a Factory Reset?

A factory reset is a process that restores a device to its original settings. This means that all of your personal data, including apps, settings, and saved passwords, will be deleted.

A factory reset is usually performed when you’re selling or giving away your device, or when you’re experiencing problems that can’t be fixed by other means.

It’s important to note that a factory reset will not delete any content that you’ve purchased from the Amazon Appstore. However, it will delete any content that you’ve downloaded from other sources, such as sideloaded apps or APK files.
