I personally needed to do a Kindle Fire reset to factory defaults when my HD tablet started to run really slow and kept freezing up.
I don't know what was causing the problems, but after testing and troubleshooting for a few weeks I gave in and reset it.
Although it was a pain to re-download my content and customize everything just the way I like it, it was worth it in the long run.
Now it's back to normal! Yippie!
At the very bottom you'll see the option, "Reset to Factory Defaults". Underneath it says, "Removes all personal data from your device."
Tap it:
Kindle Fire Reset to Factory Defaults Screen
The "Factory Data Reset" warning box opens up and says, "You are about to reset your Kindle to factory defaults, which will remove all of your personal information, Amazon account information, downloaded content, and applications. Continue?"
Kindle Fire Factory Data Reset
If you are 100% positive you want to do a Kindle Fire reset, go ahead and tap "Yes". If you're not sure, tap "No".
It will take a few minutes to finish restoring your tablet to its basic state, and if I remember correctly it will also reboot itself. That's all there is to it.
Congratulations! You Kindle Fire has now been reset to factory defaults!
