    How do I factory-reset a Xbox 360?


    I just got a Xbox 360 (newer Jasper model) earlier today, and I want to factory-reset it, as if it just came from a store (so when I turn it on, it would start with the initial setup (I'd imagine new consoles do this)).

    How do I do it? I've seen quite a few button combinations to press on the System Info screen, and none I've tried work. There doesn't appear to be a setting anywhere to just factory-reset either.

    :)

    How do I factory-reset a Xbox 360?

    Hi there,

    try formatting the hard drive via Settings - System - Storage - highlight hard drive and press Y. This will delete everything on that is currently present on the hard drive.

    There is also a Initial Setup option in Settings - System, which should initiate the initial start up sequence.

    Be aware that a Family pass code will not be reset via these steps, in order to reset that you will need to contact Xbox Support (support.xbox.com/contact-us)

    If I do a factory reset

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    Yes, you should be able to re-download any games that you have purchased after doing a factory reset on your Xbox. When you sign in to your Xbox account after the reset, you should see all of your purchased games available for download in the "Ready to install" section of the "My games and apps" menu.
