Wipe data/factory reset什麼意思

"Wipe data/factory reset" is a term used in Android devices to describe a process that completely erases all data from the device and restores it to its original, factory default state. This means that all apps, app data, user data, and settings are removed from the device, and the device is returned to the state it was in when it left the factory.

The process of wiping data or performing a factory reset is often used to fix issues with an Android device, such as slow performance, software errors, or a virus infection. It can also be used to prepare a device for sale or trade-in, to ensure that all personal data is removed from the device.

It's important to note that a factory reset is a permanent action and cannot be undone. All data on the device will be lost, so it's important to back up any important data before performing a factory reset.

To perform a factory reset on an Android device, you typically go to the device's settings menu, select "System," then "Advanced," and then "Reset options." From there, you can select "Erase all data (factory reset)." You will be prompted to enter your device's passcode or PIN, and then the reset process will begin.

It's also possible to perform a factory reset on an Android device using the recovery mode. To do this, you typically need to turn off the device and then press and hold a combination of buttons to enter recovery mode. From there, you can select the option to wipe data/factory reset.
