If your Amazon Fire TV Stick is getting slow, resetting it will make it work like new. Resetting your device to factory conditions will erase all your apps, settings, and data, so you can sell it or give it away without compromising your privacy. Here’s everything you need to know about how to reset your Amazon Fire TV Stick with your remote or through settings.
To reset your Fire TV Stick with your remote control, turn on your device and then press and hold the Back button and the right directional button for at least 10 seconds. Finally, click Reset when you see the pop-up message.
If you do not press anything, your device will automatically reset after a few seconds.
You will have to wait a few minutes for your Fire TV Stick to reset. During the reset, you will be advised not to unplug the device. If the power supply gets cut off, you may have to start the whole reset process all over again.

To manually reset your Amazon Fire TV Stick to factory conditions, press the Home button on your remote and go to Settings. Then select My Fire TV, scroll down, and click Reset to Factory Defaults. Finally, click Reset when the pop-up message appears.
Once you are done, you will need to set up your device again. You will know your Fire TV has been reset when it tries to pair with your remote.
After your device resets, it will automatically restart as if you’re setting it up for the first time. It will then automatically optimize your system storage and applications. Once this is done, the device will restart again. Finally, you will have to set up the device like it was new.
If none of the steps above worked, you can also download the Fire TV app to use your smartphone as a remote instead.
