Factory Reset

Also called a hard reset, Factory Reset is when absolutely EVERYTHING must be abandoned for a restart to happen.

There are multiple kinds of Factory Reset. One is mental Factory Reset. An example of this is a when twist has been revealed to Hero and they and the audience both have to do a Factory Reset on all of their knowledge on who or what that twist is about. This is what happens when Villain II comes along and messes with everything Hero knows about Villain I.
