Here’s how you can reset Samsung phone to factory settings
Samsung Galaxy consumers hardly ever, if ever, do factory resets, however, there are some situations where a clean factory reset may be necessary, such as when you’re preparing to trade or sell your device.
Instead of using Recovery, you should use the Settings app to factory reset your smartphone. You can delete your Google and Samsung accounts as well as any other records of such usage on the phone.

What is Factory Reset
When user data is deleted from an electronic device and the device is reset to factory defaults, the process is known as a “factory reset”. It is a software restore that seeks to return the device’s software to its factory default settings. A factory reset can be used to clear all user data from a device or to fix specific software problems with the gadget.
