Once you have completed the tutorial below, your Roku will be restored to the condition at which it was sent from the factory. This means that any channels that you have downloaded will be deleted, and any accounts that you have added will be removed. Another thing that you might need to revert to its default settings is your phone. Our factory reset iPhone 11 article can show you how to do this.
