Why need to perform Factory Reset

Common reasons to perform a factory reset or hard reset :

• To fix a malfunctioning electronic device (Like mobile or tablet etc).
• To remove a file or app or virus that is difficult to remove on your device.
• To clear or remove the memory space on the electronic device.
• To clear or delete the configuration and settings of the electronic device to the factory default settings.
• To remove or delete personal information from the device before selling or giving away the device.

Note:- a factory reset or hard reset or password reset may only hide data from the Operating System (OS ), So it appears it no longer exists. This is not the same effect as data deletion or formatting(Removing),  and may not, therefore, be wholly suitable in situations where the Electronic device changes ownership.
