iPad return to factory settings
Hi, I am trying to return my iPad to factory settings, but I do not see āerase all contentā under General in settings.
iPad Air, iOS 12

āReturn to factory settingsā is different from āerase all settingsā.
If you truly want to just return to the settings that came out-of-the-box, then you should click āReset all settingsā. This will revert the Wi-Fi settings, the notifications settings, and many other settings. But if you want to actually erase the device, wiping out ALL CONTENT, then you should click āErase All Content And Settingsā. I see in your picture that setting is not there. I also see in your picture that your battery is at 4 percent, so it probably wonāt be able to erase before the battery dies out.
You can also try remotely erasing the device, assuming Find My is turned on.

I hope this helps.
