When you’re ready to sell your AT&T Moto G 5G 2026, it’s essential to wipe all your personal data to protect your privacy. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to securely erase your device before handing it over to the new owner.
Preparing Your Device for Wipe
Before performing a factory reset, ensure that your device is charged to at least 50% to prevent it from turning off during the process. Back up any important data, such as contacts, photos, and documents, to a cloud service or external storage.
Steps to Factory Reset Your Moto G 5G 2026
Follow these simple steps to wipe your device:
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Scroll down and tap on System.
- Select Reset options.
- Tap on Erase all data (factory reset).
- Confirm your choice by tapping Reset phone.
- Enter your device PIN or password if prompted.
- Tap Erase everything to begin the reset process.
Your device will restart and begin erasing all data. This process may take several minutes. Once completed, the device will reboot to its factory settings, ready for sale.
Additional Tips
To ensure your device is completely clean, consider performing a hard reset if the normal reset option does not work. Also, remove any linked accounts, such as Google or Samsung accounts, to prevent activation lock issues for the new owner.
Final Checks
After the reset, verify that the device displays the initial setup screen. Check that all your personal data has been erased by browsing through the device. If everything looks clear, your Moto G 5G 2026 is ready for sale.
