As you may have noticed already, Realme X2 Pro allows you to reset your phone but not all at once. You may reset the settings only, but all your apps and data will remain, or you can delete all your apps and data but your settings will remain. If you’re looking for a way to do all of these at once, then the next procedure is what you’re looking for. 

How to Master Reset your Realme X2 Pro

A master reset will allow you to bring your phone back to its default settings and configuration, and together with that, all your apps, data, pictures, contacts, messages, etc. will be deleted. If you don’t way to do all the things above just to reset your phone, then this is what you should do. But before that, if possible, make sure to create a copy of your important files and data as they will all be deleted. Also, it’s best to remove your Google account so that you won’t be locked out after the reset. When you’re ready, follow these steps: 

1. Turn your Realme X2 Pro first. 
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power key simultaneously for 10 seconds or until the Realme logo shows. 
3. Select English by pressing the Power key or by simply tapping the option itself. 
4. Type Wipe Data to initiate the reset. 
5. Enter the verification code that’s provided on the screen. 
6. Now, you have two options: Wipe data but keeps your SMS, Contacts and Photos, or Format that data partition, which will delete everything. 
7. Tap the choice you want. (In this tutorial, let’s choose Format data.)
8. Tap OK to proceed. 
9. Wait until the wiping of the data partition is complete. 
10. When you’re prompted that it’s successful, tap OK. 
11. Your phone will reboot, so wait until it’s finished restarting. 
12. Now, follow on-screen instructions to set up your phone again.
