2018-07-05T22:31:55+00:00 I have a Matrix phone running android version 5.1. when I started my new laptop it asked me if I wanted to sinc my phone to my laptop. It downloaded a app to my phone which I then ran and now my phone uses windows apps (Microsoft launcher, Cortana and Edge). I am now out of storage on my phone and I want to remove windows. I am wondering if I have to do a factory data reset?
