In the settings menu, scroll down and tap “Additional settings” to access advanced options of your Xiaomi smartphone.
Step 4: Select “Backup and Reset”
In “Additional Settings,” tap “Backup & Reset” to access options for backing up and resetting your device.
Step 5: Tap “Factory Reset”
In the “Backup & Reset” menu, tap “Factory Reset” to start the reset procedure. You will see a screen that will inform you of all the data and applications that will be deleted during the reset.
Step 6: Confirm the reset
If you are sure you want to reset your Xiaomi smartphone, tap "Reset phone" or "Factory reset" and follow the on-screen instructions. Your device will reboot and begin the reset process, which may take several minutes.
