Wipe Device Data

Solution

Instructions below Text:

 

You can clear all the local user data stored on your Chrome device by switching to developer mode and switching back to normal mode. This process will delete all of the data on the device reverting it back to the factory defaults.

This process is preferred to powerwashing the system because powerwashing the system causes the permissions to reset, delete user profiles, and causes the chromebook to not be easily enrolled in the system. All account information and data stored on the Chrome device that isn't synced with Google Chrome Sync, such as photos, downloaded files, and saved networks, is deleted during a wipe. After you've wiped the device, to manage it in your domain, you need to enroll the chromebook. The steps to wipe the device data can be found here: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/1360642.

 4. IMPORTANT: enroll the Device. Press CTRL+ALT+E
