A factory reset returns the GPD XP Plus to its out-of-box Android state and erases all apps, accounts, and internal storage, so back up first. The standard Android path is Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset); the exact wording may differ slightly on GPD's Metro UI. A hardware recovery-mode wipe (holding POWER with a volume key on boot) is the generic Android method and is not specifically documented by GPD for the XP Plus, so use the in-Settings reset whenever the device still boots.

FAQ

Does a reset remove my microSD games?
A factory reset wipes internal storage but does not erase a microSD card. Remove the microSD if you want to be sure, and back up anything important beforehand.
Is there a hardware recovery wipe?
Android devices can reach recovery by holding POWER plus a volume key on boot, but GPD does not document the exact combo for the XP Plus. Prefer the Settings reset while the device still boots.
