Factory Data Reset (Powered Off) - Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+

Here's how to factory / hard reset your Galaxy Tab S10+ if the screen freezes or 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.
  2. Press and hold the
    Power / Side
     and
    Volume Up buttons
     on the right edge of the device until the Samsung Galaxy screen appears, then release the Power / Side button but continue holding the Volume Up button.
    A blue screen with 'Installing system update' may display, followed by a screen with 'No command'; continue to wait until the recovery screen appears.
  3. From the Android Recovery screen, select
    Wipe data/factory reset
    .
    Use the Volume buttons to cycle through available options and the Power / Side button to select.
  4. Select
    Factory data reset
    .
    Allow several seconds for the factory data reset to complete.
  5. Select
    Reboot system now
    .
    Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
    If applicable, set up your device.
