Factory Reset Your Fire Tablet

Perform a factory reset to resolve intermittent errors or before gifting to a friend. A factory reset of your device removes all downloaded content, including in-app purchases and returns the device to its original factory settings.

  1. If needed, safely eject expandable storage.
  2. Swipe down twice from the top of the screen to show Quick Settings.
  3. Tap the Settings icon.
  4. Tap Device Options, and then tap Reset to Factory Defaults.
    Note: If you can't access Settings or your device is freezing, launch Recovery Mode. Power off your device, then press and hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. For more help, go to Factory Reset Your Fire Tablet from Recovery Mode.
Upon completion of a factory reset, your device is deregistered from your Amazon account. To use the device, register it again.
