How to Reset Your Steam Deck
Resetting your Steam Deck is easier than you think! Just hold down the power button for 8 seconds to completely turn off the device. Then, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button simultaneously until the Steam logo appears. This will bring you to the Recovery menu, where you can select 'Recovery' > 'Restore factory settings'. Remember to back up any important files because this will wipe your data!

Just go straight for the Recovery menu. Power + Volume Down when you start up. Then, hit factory reset. Bam, like new.
Actually, I had to reset mine last week. Super easy. Just power off, then Power button + Volume Down to get to recovery. Wiped it clean and started fresh. Make sure to back up your games though!
No reason to reset. Steam Deck works fine as is. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
