How to reset an Amazon Fire TV Stick

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is one of the best streaming devices you can buy, but there are a number of reasons why you might want to ditch it. Maybe you are giving it to someone. Maybe you just want a fresh start. Whatever the reason, it’s super easy to reset your Fire TV Stick — or any Fire TV device, for that matter, whether it’s on the low end of Amazon’s offerings or the high end.

For what it’s worth, we’re showing you how to do this on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, but the process should be exactly the same for all of Amazon’s Fire TV devices. Let’s go!

It’s that simple. The Fire TV Stick (or any other Fire TV device you’re working with) will take a few minutes to actually come back, which is not uncommon for Android-based devices. After that, you’ll be ready to set up your Fire TV Stick again.
