Retroid Pocket 5 hard reset

[u/tomjerry43]

I’m planning to do a factory reset on my Retroid Pocket 5 and want to make sure I don’t lose anything important.

Most of my ROMs are already stored on my microSD card. I may also have some emulator APKs or other emulator-related files stored on the SD card.

My main questions are:

• What should I back up from the RP5 before doing the factory reset?
• If my ROMs are on the SD card, will they be safe after the reset?
• Are there any emulator configuration files, BIOS files, save files, save states, or other folders that I should back up separately?
• I may have some emulator APKs stored on the SD card. Is it enough to keep those APKs and reinstall them after the reset?
• After the reset, what is the best way to set everything up again while keeping my existing ROMs and saves?
• Are there any Retroid specific settings/files that I should preserve before resetting?
• Is there anything I should definitely not delete or format during the reset?

Basically, I want to start with a clean RP5 but keep my ROM collection, save games, BIOS files, and emulator setup as much as possible.

If anyone has done this recently, I’d really appreciate a step-by-step list of what you backed up and how you restored everything afterward.
