How to wipe your Oppo before selling: reset your phone in 7 easy steps

Do you want to sell your old Oppo phone? Smart move! Not only can you earn some extra money, but you’re also giving your device a second life. Before you send it off or give it away, it’s important to wipe your phone completely. That way, you can be sure all your personal data is safely removed.

Why you should wipe your Oppo before selling

Your smartphone holds more data than you think: photos, WhatsApp chats, apps, logins, and even payment details. If you don’t remove them, the new owner could easily access your information. Plus, your Oppo will remain unusable as long as your Google account is still linked. The solution: reset your device to factory settings. This ensures no data is left behind.

Always create a back-up first

Nothing is worse than losing precious photos or important files. Always make a back-up first. You can do this via Google Drive, an external hard drive, or by transferring your files to your new phone. This way, you’ll keep everything safe before wiping your Oppo.

Erase your Oppo in 7 simple steps

Is your back-up done and are you ready to reset your Oppo phone? Just follow these steps and your Oppo will be as good as new in minutes:

1. Open the Settings app on your Oppo.
2. Tap on Additional settings.
3. Select Backup and reset.
4. Choose Reset phone.
5. Tap Erase all data (this option is shown in red).
6. Select Erase data and eSIM profiles – important when selling, as it also deletes eSIM profiles.
7. Confirm with Erase data and eSIM profiles. Your Oppo will now be wiped and reset to factory settings.

Note: all data will be permanently deleted. Always check that your back-up is successful before doing this!

Remove your SIM card (and SD card if present)

It may seem obvious, but many people forget: they send off their phone with the SIM card or SD card still inside. Always remove them before selling your Oppo. If you forget, contact your provider immediately to block your SIM card.
