Performing a factory reset on an Xbox One is quick and easy and may be necessary if you’re having some technical issues, or if you’re selling your console and want to remove your personal data.
A factory reset is a simple procedure that you can perform on both your Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X. This method will also work on Microsoft’s latest consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
When you choose to perform a factory reset, you’re essentially rolling your Xbox back to the day it came out of the box, stripping it of all the personal information, games, apps, and data you’ve downloaded to it.
You can choose to retain certain games and apps, but the rest of the content on your console will be removed, giving you a squeaky clean system that’s (hopefully) free of technical issues or identifying data in the event you make a sale.
It’s not a particularly involved…
