There’s no way to fully reset a Realme 15 (or any other phone) to factory settings without *some* risk of data loss. A factory reset wipes the phone’s internal storage, and while some methods claim to preserve data, they are not foolproof. Data corruption can occur during the process, and there’s no guarantee of complete data preservation.
However, if you want to try to minimize data loss, you can attempt a cache partition wipe. This clears temporary system files, which can sometimes resolve issues without affecting your personal data. This is *not* a full factory reset.
How to Wipe the Cache Partition (This does NOT reset your phone’s settings or delete your apps/files):
1. Power off your Realme 15.
2. Enter Recovery Mode: This typically involves pressing and holding a combination of buttons while powering on. The exact combination may vary slightly depending on your Realme 15 model, but it usually involves the Power button and either the Volume Up or Volume Down button. Search online for “Realme 15 Recovery Mode” to find the precise key combination. You’ll likely see a Realme or Android logo, then a menu.
3. Navigate the Recovery Menu: Use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select options.
4. Find “Wipe Cache Partition” or a similar option: The wording might be slightly different.
5. Select and confirm: The process will take a few minutes.
6. Reboot the system: Once the process is complete, select “Reboot system now”.
Important Considerations:
* Backup: Even if you only wipe the cache partition, it’s always best to back up your important data (photos, videos, documents, etc.) to a cloud service (Google Drive, Google Photos, etc.) or a computer before attempting any kind of reset, just in case.
* No Guarantee: There’s no absolute guarantee that a cache partition wipe won’t affect your data, although it’s less likely than a factory reset.
* Full Reset: If you need a full reset, you *will* lose data unless you have a proper backup.
If you’re experiencing problems with your Realme 15 and need a more thorough solution, a factory reset is often the next step. But *always* back up your data first! If you are unsure about any of these steps, consider seeking help from a qualified technician.
