If your Realme C3 smartphone works very slowly, it freezes, your memory is full, and you want to delete everything? Or do you want to sell it or give it away and don’t want anyone to access your files and passwords? You can do a factory reset so that it comes back to a factory position, like a brand new device.
In the following steps, we explained how to format the Realme C3 correctly to erase all your information and make it totally clean as soon as you leave the shop.
You should be aware that a factory reset on a mobile device deletes all of its contents. So you must backup your data before doing it if you don’t want to lose anything.
There are two ways to perform a restore in a Realme C3: one via the mobile settings, and another is hard reset from the recovery mode.

Reset from Realme C3 options (Soft reset)
If you want to restore using the device settings to return to the factory state on Realme C3, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Access the settings menu of your Realme C3 device.
Step 2: Go to the system settings. In the Personal section, you will see the “Backup” option, click on it, and click on “Factory data reset.” If you don’t see the Personal section, look for the “About phone” section, click on “Storage,” then “Backup and reset” and you will see the option “Factory data reset.”
Step 3: Before doing so, you will be asked for confirmation. A message will appear that reminds you that all your data will be deleted from this device. The data uploaded to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or cloud backups such as Google Drive will not be deleted.
Step 4: If necessary, draw the screen unlock pattern or enter the screen unlock password or PIN to continue.
Step 5: Your Realme C3 device will reboot and take several minutes to boot while restoring the device to the factory state. It will optimize the pre-installed applications on Android.

Step 4: Choose in the menu with the volume up and volume down keys until you navigate the “Recovery Mode” option and press the power button to select. If the device menu appears in Chinese characters, see How to reset on a Chinese mobile phone.
