Back up your important data: Before formatting the device, it is highly recommended

to back up all your important data such as contacts, photos, videos, apps, and
other files. You can do this using cloud services like Google Drive or by
connecting the device to a computer and manually transferring the data.

Access the device settings: Open the "Settings" app on your Android device.
Usually, the settings icon looks like a gear or can be found in the app menu.

Look for the "System" or "Advanced Settings" option: Depending on the version of
Android and the manufacturer's user interface, the options may vary slightly. Look
for something similar to "System" or "Advanced Settings".

Locate the reset or restore option: Within the system settings, look for an option
like "Reset" or "Restore". This may be in a separate section or within a category
called "Backup and Reset" or "Privacy".

Select "Factory Reset" or "Restore Factory Defaults": Within the reset or restore
option, you will find the option to reset the device or restore factory defaults.
Select this option.

Confirm the formatting: The device will display a message informing you about the
consequences of formatting. Read the information carefully and if you are ready to
proceed, confirm the action.

Wait for the formatting process: The Android device will begin to format and erase
all data from the internal storage. This process may take a few minutes. Make sure
the device is connected to a power source to prevent the battery from running out
during formatting.

Follow the initial setup instructions: After formatting, the device will restart,
and you will be prompted to follow the initial setup instructions, similar to what
happens when you turn on a new device for the first time. Follow the steps to set
up the language, Google account, Wi-Fi, and other settings.

Once you have completed these steps, your Android device will be formatted and
ready to use. Remember to reinstall apps, restore your data from the backup, and
configure preferences according to your needs.
