What is Hard Reset?

A hard reset (also called a factory reset) is a process that erases all data on your device and restores it to its original factory settings, just like when it was brand new.

What Does a Hard Reset Do?

• Deletes all personal data (photos, videos, messages, apps, accounts).
• Removes any settings changes you’ve made.
• Clears cache and temporary files.
• Reinstalls the original operating system (no software updates are undone).

Why Perform a Hard Reset?

• Fix software issues (freezing, crashing, boot loops).
• Remove viruses or malware.
•  Prepare the phone for resale or giveaway.
• Clear all data securely before recycling.

Difference Between Hard Reset & Soft Reset

• Soft Reset (Restart): Just reboots the phone (no data loss).
• Hard Reset (Factory Reset): Wipes everything (full data loss).
