Hello Scott,


It sounds as though you're wanting to erase your iPhone to factory settings, and you did so by going in to Settings > General > Reset. To clarify, is the iPhone trying to erase and is unresponsive during this process? If so, it may take sometime for the erase to complete as expected. If the device doesn't erase you may have to attempt a force restart as outlined in the following article.


If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't turn on or is frozen


If the issue continues, you may have to place the iPhone in to recovery mode, and restore the iPhone to factory settings using a computer.


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings


Have a great week!
