To reset your device, you need to securely wipe out all the data on the data disk and the boot disk of your device.

Use the Reset-HcsAppliance cmdlet to wipe out both the data disks and the boot disk or just the data disks. The ClearData and BootDisk switches allow you to wipe the data disks and the boot disk respectively.

The BootDisk switch wipes the boot disk and makes the device unusable. It should be used only when the device needs to be returned to Microsoft. For more information, see Return the device to Microsoft.

If you use the device reset in the local web UI, only the data disks are securely wiped but the boot disk is kept intact. The boot disk contains the device configuration.

  1. Connect to the PowerShell interface.

  2. At the command prompt, type:

    Reset-HcsAppliance -ClearData -BootDisk

    The following example shows how to use this cmdlet:

    [10.128.24.33]: PS>Reset-HcsAppliance -ClearData -BootDisk
