How to wipe a Samsung phone before selling or trading it in?

You can usually wipe a samsung phone before selling or trading it in by opening the right Samsung menu first and checking one or two details before changing anything else.

Why It Matters
  • A full wipe helps protect personal files, account data, and saved sign-ins before trade-in or resale.
  • You should back up the phone first and remove key accounts before erasing it.
What to Do
  1. Back up the phone and confirm you can access that backup.
  2. Remove Samsung and Google accounts where needed.
  3. Use the reset option in Samsung settings and wait for the phone to erase and restart.
