To factory reset your Fire TV device, follow these steps.

  • To factory reset using your remote:
    1. If needed, safely eject expandable storage.
    2. Press and hold the Back button and the right side of the navigation circle together for 10 seconds.
  • To factory reset from your Fire TV settings:
    1. Go to Settings on your Fire TV.
    2. Select My Fire TV, and then select Reset to Factory Defaults.
    3. On the TV screen, choose to continue or cancel the factory reset.
      If you don't choose, the device resets automatically after several more seconds.
