Want to donate or sell your Amazon Echo Show? Before the transaction, make sure you have reset the device to factory settings and deregistered it. A factory reset ensures that all of your Amazon account settings are erased from the device, so the new recipient of your Show can enter their own Amazon credentials and set up the smart display for themselves. Fortunately, the process of resetting your Showa 5 or Showa 8 is quite simple, and there are several ways to go about the task. Let’s go through each method.

If this is a second-generation Echo Show, select Factory reset, but Keep smart home device connections. For the first generation Echo Show, tap Factory reset. Either option will erase all personal data from the device and deregister the Echo Show from your Amazon account.
