Actually, just hammer the Factory Reset button and call it a day. Who needs backups, right? (Just kidding, please back up your stuff.)

Factory Reset? Too much trouble. Just keep your games and files. You never know when you'll need them again.
Honestly, I just went through this process last week. The factory reset option in the system settings was a lifesaver. Make sure to back up your game saves to the cloud or an external drive first, though. Losing progress in games is a real bummer.
Wiping your Steam Deck is pretty straightforward! First, make sure to back up any important data. Then, go to Settings > System > Factory Reset. This process will wipe all your data and restore the Steam Deck to its original settings. Super easy!
