Not so long ago, James wrote an article about all the things you should do before you sell or give away your computer or tablet. The general principles were fantastic, but what if you’re planning on selling an Android device? What steps should you take to ensure that every trace of you has been wiped clean before someone else takes possession?

If you’ve never considered this before, you should. Privacy invasion is a big deal and it’s never been easier than it is today. You could have some sensitive data on your Android–any at all–and the next person could release it out into the public without you knowing. Photos? Contacts? Private text messages? You probably want to keep all of that on the down low.

So if you’re about to pull the trigger on selling your Android, here are the steps you should take to wipe history on your Android and make sure that none of that happens to you.

Before we begin, please note that I’m using Android Jelly Bean for the screenshots. If you use a different version of Android, the general idea will be the same but the actual menus and options will be slightly different.
