First-hand experience here—had to reset my Xbox 360 when it started acting up. Just go to Settings > System > Storage. Highlight your storage device and press Y for Device Options. Select Format, enter your console's serial number when prompted, and you’re golden.

You can restore it to factory settings by navigating to System Settings > Storage, then press Y on your storage device and select 'Format.' It'll ask for your console's serial number, which you can find in System Settings > Console Settings > System Info.
