What happens when you factory reset your Oculus
If you don’t back up your headset, a factory reset will permanently delete all the saved games and settings on your device. Deleting this information can be useful if you’re trying to sell your headset and don’t want the buyer to have access to your personal data. But it’s also why a factory reset should be your last resort if you’re struggling to troubleshoot your Oculus Quest or Oculus Quest 2.
