How to Wipe Your Android
Phone
If you've got to return your fancy Android
phone for some reason, or you plan to sell
your older model on eBay, you'll want to make
sure your private information is thoroughly
cleaned from the device. Setting your Android
phone back to its factory defaults is simple
enough, but ensuring your phone is completely
clear is a two-step process.
First, you need to format your microSD card: Under 'Settings,'
tap the entry for 'SD Card and Phone Storage.'
From here you'll need to unmount and then
format your SD card (both options are clearly
labeled). After that, go back out to the main
settings menu and tap the 'Privacy' option.
Under that menu you'll find an option for
'Factory Data Reset.' This will return the
phone to the state it was in when you first
took it out of the box.
