A user guide for Roku devices explaining that system restarts and factory resets do not delete purchases (which remain tied to the Roku account), while factory resets remove device-specific settings and require reinstalling channels; it outlines that resets can resolve many software issues but not hardware failures, suggests using the Roku mobile app as a backup remote, recommends periodic restarts, describes how a network connection reset clears saved Wi‑Fi settings, and provides steps to unlink a device from a Roku account before selling or giving it away.
