Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 - Factory Data Reset (Powered Off)

Here's how to factory / hard reset your Galaxy Z Fold6 if the screen freezes or call, app, audio or sync issues occur and the device won’t start up.
  • Perform a factory data reset only if necessary as it removes your Google™ account and all data including system data, app data and media.
  • For devices with Android™ Device Protection turned on, it's imperative Google sign-in credentials are known prior to completing a factory reset with the device powered off. If credentials are unknown, do one of the following:
  • If a pattern, PIN, etc. is or has ever been set up on the device, Google account sign-in is required during initial setup.
  1. Ensure the device is powered off.
    If the device is responsive and can be powered on, the preferred reset method should be performed.

     and
    Power buttons
     until the device vibrates and the Samsung Galaxy screen appears then release all buttons.
    Allow up to 30 seconds for the recovery screen to appear.
  3. From the Android Recovery screen, select
