Samsung Galaxy users rarely perform a factory reset, however, there are some circumstances where a clean factory reset may be necessary, such as when you are preparing to trade or sell your device.
Instead of using recovery, you should use the Settings app to factory reset your smartphone. You may delete your Google and Samsung accounts as well as any other records of such usage on the phone.

What is Factory Reset
When user data is removed from an electronic device and the device is reset to factory defaults, the process is known as a “factory reset”. This is a software restore that attempts to return the device’s software to its factory default settings. A factory reset can be used to clear all user data from the device or to fix specific software problems with the gadget.
How to factory reset Samsung Galaxy
There are just a few steps involved in performing a clean factory reset on your Samsung Galaxy device. Although it is a simple process, you should know that you will lose any data in the phone’s memory.
Factory reset will not damage any data stored on the microSD card (if your Galaxy smartphone has expandable storage). In any case, you should back up all your data before continuing.
To completely wipe your Galaxy phone or tablet’s memory:
- Go to “General management” in the Settings app after opening it.
- Choose “Factory data reset” under “Reset” after tapping the button.
- Examine all the information that will be deleted from your phone.
- When ready, complete the entire scroll and select “Reset” to confirm.
