Format the S8 via settings menu
The easiest way to format our smartphone is through the option designed for it in the Settings menu. Unless we do not have access to said menu because the screen of our mobile does not work directly, it is usually the easiest way to do it.
To do this you simply have to go to Settings>General Administration>Factory data reset (may depend on the Android version used). Once we click on this button, we will find a screen that will indicate that all the data we have will be deleted. If we give him to accept, the restart process will begin.
It is highly recommended that before resetting and formatting to factory mode, we have made a Backup, since all the data that we had on our smartphone will be lost when formatting.

To access it, the first thing we will have to do is have our smartphone completely turned off. Then, we are going to press and hold the power and volume up buttons at the same time for a few seconds. At that moment, we can see how the recovery menu on the screen, on which we can navigate using the volume buttons and confirm with the power button.
In the menu we will have to go to the wipe data/factory reset option, and on the next screen click on the Yes option.
