Remarks

Reboots the device and wipes the user data and cache partitions. This is sometimes called a "factory reset", which is something of a misnomer because the system partition is not restored to its factory state. Requires the NoType:android/Manifest$permission;Href=../../../reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#REBOOT permission.
