Today I will be showing you how to reset your firestick to its factory setting. There could be thousands of reasons why you want to do it, however, the very common reason behind resetting your firestick to the factory is to solve the lagging problem. It is quite normal to face lagging or buffering problems on firestick after using the device for like a year or so and this can happen because of several reasons.
If you want to make your firestick device faster and newer than before then I highly suggest you reset the firestick to factory settings. It is very easy to reset a firestick and anyone can do it, there is no technical knowledge required. But before I tell you how to do it, I want you to read the disclaimer below.
An important thing to consider before resetting firestick
If you have made up your mind to reset your firestick device to its default or factory setting then keep one thing in mind that every data, app, etc will be permanently deleted from the firestick while performing a factory reset on the firestick. So it is highly recommended that you backup your important data, files, or apps before performing the factory reset on firestick. We won’t be responsible for any data loss in this process.
How to Reset Firestick to Factory Settings – Simple Steps
So, below I have written the steps to reset your firestick to default settings, please read all the steps carefully.
- First thing first, turn on your firestick device.
