Because the Pocket 4 Pro is an Android device, the normal reset is the standard Android factory reset under Settings > System > Reset options > Erase all data. If the system is frozen, hold POWER for about 10 seconds to reboot. If Android cannot start, the recovery combo differs from older Retroid units: from a full power off, hold POWER until the unit vibrates, then release and hold VOL+ to reach Android Recovery. Move the highlight with the volume keys and confirm wipe data with POWER. A factory reset erases internal storage but not the microSD card.

FAQ

What's the recovery button combo?
From power off, hold POWER until it vibrates, then release and hold VOL+. The Pocket 4 Pro uses VOL+ for recovery, not the VOL− + POWER combo from older models.
Does a factory reset erase my microSD games?
No. A factory reset wipes internal storage and settings only; files on the microSD card are untouched.
