某些Android 应用程序(Android apps)可能会在一段时间后开始出现故障。您的Google Chrome网络浏览器可能会填满您不想要的通知，或者Facebook可能由于配置错误(configuration mistake)或缓存中的文件损坏而崩溃。此外，某些应用程序在长时间使用、多次更新和更改设置后，可能会开始出现异常行为。如果您想在不“删除”或卸载的情况下重置Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet)上的应用程序，您可以轻松完成。方法如下：
注意：(NOTE:)在本指南中，我们介绍了Android 9 Pie 和 Android(Pie and Android) 10，但我们仅使用一组屏幕截图，在Android 10中拍摄。这是因为这两个版本的Android(Android)中的过程非常相似。如果您不知道您使用的是什么版本的Android，请阅读：我有什么版本的Android？3种检查方式！
如何在Android(Android)设备上将应用重置为其初始状态
首先，在您的Android 智能手机或平板电脑上打开(Android smartphone or tablet)设置应用程序(Settings app)。点击应用程序(Apps)或应用程序和通知(Apps & notifications)，具体取决于此选项在您的设备上的命名方式。
您会看到与Android(Android)上的应用相关的不同选项。点击(Tap)应用程序(Apps)或“查看所有...应用程序(all... apps)”。
Android会显示安装在您的智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)上的应用程序列表。该列表包括您安装的应用程序、与您的设备捆绑的应用程序，以及被操作系统(operating system)隐藏并用于特殊任务的应用程序。
向下滚动(Scroll)列表，然后点击要重置的应用程序的名称。您还可以使用顶部的搜索框更快地找到您想要的应用程序。(search box)请注意，搜索框(search box)并非在所有Android智能手机上都可用。在本教程中，我们选择了Facebook应用并点击了它。
您会看到所选应用的多个选项。要重置应用程序并删除其存储的数据，请点按存储(Storage)。
Android会显示有关您选择的应用程序的存储信息。(storage information)您可以查看应用程序大小(app size)、存储的用户数据量、缓存大小以及Android 设备(Android device)上占用的总空间。要完全重置它，请点击清除数据(Clear data)或清除存储(Clear storage)。
Android 会通知您此操作的后果：它将删除应用程序的所有数据、设置、帐户、数据库等。这意味着它会完全重置它并使其像您第一次安装时一样可用。要确认您要重置应用程序，请点击确定(OK)或删除(Delete)，具体取决于您设备上的选项名称。
所选应用程序现在已重置。关闭设置(Settings)，你就完成了。当您启动已重置的应用程序时，它就像是新安装的一样，您必须重新配置它。
奖励：谷歌浏览器(Google Chrome)等一些应用程序有不同的重置选项
我们之前分享的过程对于大多数应用程序都是一样的。但是，其他应用程序（例如Google Chrome 浏览器(Google Chrome browser)、Microsoft Edge或防病毒应用程序）可能会提供更精细的自定义重置选项。(custom reset)例如，在Chrome的存储空间(storage space)上，您有一个Manage Space或Clear Storage按钮。点击它。
您可以选择仅清除存储空间(storage space)、所有站点存储(site storage)（包括 cookie 和其他本地存储的数据）和清除所有数据(CLEAR ALL DATA)。要完全重置应用程序，请点击清除所有数据(CLEAR ALL DATA)。
系统会要求您确认永久删除所有数据，包括文件、设置、帐户、数据库和其他项目。点击确定(OK)，您就完成了。
Chrome 浏览器现已重置。
您重置了哪个Android 应用程序(Android app)，为什么？
我们的许多朋友和家人在使用Android(Android)上的默认网络浏览器时遇到了问题。在浏览网页时，他们并没有注意他们点击了什么。他们最终每天都会显示垃圾邮件通知。如本指南所示，消除他们所有头痛的解决方案是重置他们的浏览器。在结束本教程之前，请在下方告诉我们您重置了哪些Android 应用程序以及原因？(Android app)你遇到过什么样的问题？
How to reset an app on Android without "deleting it"
Some Android apps may start to malfunction after a while. Your Google Chrome web browser may fill up with nоtifications you do not want, or Facebook may be crashing because of a configuration mistake or corrupted files in its cache. Also, some apps, after a long period of use, many updates, аnd changed settingѕ, may start misbehaving. If you want to reset аn app on your Android smаrtphone or tablet without "deleting it" or uninstalling it, you can do that with ease. Here is how:
NOTE: In this guide, we cover Android 9 Pie and Android 10, but we use only one set of screenshots, taken in Android 10. That is because the procedure is very similar in both versions of Android. If you do not know what version of Android you are using, read: What version of Android do I have? 3 ways of checking!
How to reset an app to its initial state on Android devices
First, open the Settings app on your Android smartphone or tablet. Tap on Apps or Apps & notifications, depending on how this option is named on your device.
You see different options related to apps on Android. Tap on Apps or "See all... apps."
Android displays the list of apps installed on your smartphone or tablet. The list includes the apps you installed, the ones bundled with your device, and the apps hidden by the operating system and used for specialized tasks.
Scroll down the list and tap the name of the app that you want to reset. You can also use the search box on top to find the app you want faster. Do note that the search box is not available on all Android smartphones. For this tutorial, we chose the Facebook app and tapped on it.
You see several options for the app that you chose. To reset the app, and delete the data stored by it, tap Storage.
Android displays storage information about the app you have chosen. You can see the app size, how much user data it stores, the size of its cache, and the total space occupied on your Android device. To completely reset it, tap Clear data or Clear storage.
Android informs you about the consequences of this action: it is going to delete all the app's data, settings, accounts, databases, and so on. This means that it completely resets it and makes it available as it was when you first installed it. To confirm that you want to reset the app, tap OK or Delete, depending on the name of the option on your device.
The selected app is now reset. Close the Settings, and you are done. When you start the app that you have reset, it acts as if it were newly installed, and you have to reconfigure it again.
BONUS: Some apps like Google Chrome have different reset options
The procedure we shared earlier works the same for most apps. However, other apps, like the Google Chrome browser, Microsoft Edge, or antivirus apps, may offer custom reset options that are more granular. For example, on Chrome's storage space, you have a Manage Space or Clear Storage button. Tap on it.
You get options for clearing up just the storage space, all site storage (including cookies and other locally stored data), and CLEAR ALL DATA. To completely reset the app, tap CLEAR ALL DATA.
You are asked to confirm that you permanently delete all data, including files, settings, accounts, databases, and other items. Tap OK and you are done.
The Chrome browser is now reset.
What Android app did you reset and why?
Many of our friends and family have trouble with their default web browser on Android. While browsing the web, they did not pay attention to what they tapped on. They ended up with spam notifications being displayed daily. A solution to remove all their headaches is to reset their browser, as shown in this guide. Before closing this tutorial, tell us below what Android app did you reset and why? What kind of problems did you have with it?
