How to Delete All Data from a Kindle
It’s wise to erase any sensitive data from an outdoing device before selling it or handing it off to someone else.
On your Kindle’s main screen, access the Menu in the top-left part of the screen. Some models will require that you swipe down to open the Quick Actions menu. Select either Settings or All Settings. Once you’ve opened your device’s settings menu, select Device Options or Menu, depending on the device. Once you’ve made it to the next screen, you will want to tap on the Reset option. Older devices will require that you select Reset Device a second time to confirm your selection. After confirming you would like to conduct a factory reset of your device, your Kindle will display yet another prompt warning that your data and downloaded content will be removed. Tap on Yes to begin the factory reset process.
Does Resetting My Kindle Delete Everything?
Before you begin your Kindle’s factory reset process, it’s important to know you will lose everything on the device. Like most consumer electronics, conducting a factory reset means you intend to revert your device back to the original state it was in when it came off the assembly line. As a result, all downloaded content and personal data will be wiped from your Kindle’s memory.
