How to reset Samsung Galaxy phone

If your Samsung Galaxy phone is slow or is running out of space, it may be a good idea to do a reset and/or format. That is, restore it to factory default settings. By doing this, all the content (photos, apps, photos…) on the phone will be erased and it looks as if it has just arrived from the store, with few apps installed and plenty of space to use.

Bear in mind that it may not be such an effective method if you just want to free up space.
