How to Reset Android to Factory Default

I show you how to reset your Android phone to factory default or back to stock just like the day you bought it. In this video I use a Nexus 5 running the latest version of Android, 4.4 KitKat. Most Android phones are similar in the way you reset them.

Before you reset your Android phone, be sure you have all data backed up so you don't loose those precious pictures or videos.

Thank you Aaron. This was the video that helped me. All the other videos on how to do this were full of unhelpful junk. Your video helped me fix my memory full phone problem in less than 5 minutes after watching you. Keep up the great work!
