Two methods to bring LG V30 back to its factory settings, as part of the phone maintenance to solve troublesome issue with the phone performance and to wipe the entire data in a single action.
Factory reset it a simple but effective action to bring the phone such as LG V30 back into its factory state. In this state, the phone only carries the build-in application provided by LG.
During the process, the system will wipe out everything that was not there in the first place. It means every downloaded and saved file, picture, video, and application that you add (and the one you saved in the phone’s internal memory) after you bought the phone will be gone.
For that reason, if you ever want to factory reset an LG V30, make sure you backed it all up through whatever means. You can use Google or any type of cloud service you have in mind. Or, you can manually transfer the entire content to another device.
