The data that we enter over time in our phone since we acquired it, grows almost without realizing it. Whether it is storage data or personal information, most of the time we do not control what we have and that can have a negative effect on our device. When a Redmi Note 12 is too full of storage and has no room to work, we can experience slowdowns in its performance, causing the user experience to fail. In these cases, performing a reset or formatting of the terminal can be a good option to leave everything as it started..
It is also possible that at some point we find that we are no longer going to need our Redmi Note 12 and we decide to give it away or sell it. In these cases it is essential that we dedicate ourselves to resetting a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 or 12 Pro and leaving it clean of our data. Also, before formatting it is important that you remove any linked accounts to avoid leaving your phone locked. Today we are going to see different ways to be able to factory reset a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 and 12 Pro.
