Question: How do you remove a Pin # from Secure Folder? I have to return my S22 Ultra as a trade in for the S24 Ultra and I need to remove the security. Any help is appreciated

Hi so the only option is to just Uninstall the Secure Folder? That will then take any Pin number out of the equation for my trade in?

@userRhqs5imH4h Yes uninstalling it will remove any PIN needed for secure folder.

For the phone in general, you should remove the Samsung account, remove the Google account from Phone settings -> Accounts and backup. Then you can do a factory reset.
