Wiping a phone

My iPhone X recently broke - the touchscreen stopped responding. I was sent a replacement phone and have since set it up but need to return the old phone. I am being instructed to erase the iPhone by going into settings before returning it. Is there a way I can do this with a touchscreen that won't work? My icloud online is already connected to the new phone. Thanks!

iPhone X, iOS 13
