Is there a way to reset my phone even if my memory is super full?

[Windows Central Question]

My phone keeps shutting down and turn on again and again by itself because it is super full (no space left at all). I tried everything to reset it including the all the repair options available the site. I can't delete any apps on it not even from my PC. Help!

Lumia Software Recovery Tool. Use the option for "My phone does not start up or respond" even though it does start. It's stuck in a bootloop and needs the extra step to get recognized, most likely.

You will loose all data, but that's probably a good thing. I recommend NOT using the restore option during setup. Your App purchases will still be counted as paid in the Store if you use the same Microsoft Account.

I tried that. It didn't work. It says phone has a problem and the phone shuts down again.

What phone? Does it have a removable battery?

You could pull the battery, hold power + volume down buttons and insert the battery. That might soft resst the phone.

I tried all that too. I deleted some apps and they re-appear again after it turns off and turns on by itself.

Pull the battery, remove the SD card and try the soft reset trick again. That's about all I can think of at this point.

​Maybe someone else will have a different idea.
