How to mass delete saved wifi networks

[Android Central Question]

Im a cable contractor and ive literally installed soooooo many wifi networks its just about too much for my phone to handle, its causing wierd latency issues with the wifi app and i just want to MASS delete everything, to delete 1 at a time would take a week. Is there a way to do this?

What device do you have?

On my Pixel 2 XL I could go into Settings > System > Advanced > Reset Options > Reset WiFi, mobile & Bluetooth > tap the reset settings button at the bottom of the screen.

In my case, I would uncheck the box asking it to delete downloaded SIMs, my carrier uses an eSIM so unless I'm having a carrier issue I wouldn't want to delete that.

Doing this should erase all of your saved WiFi networks, as well as paired Bluetooth devices.

On my Tab S3 the path is as follows - Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Yeah I think reset network would be the fastest

Unless you want to root the phone and get into Linux, it's one by one. Reset settings delete all WiFi and Bluetooth settings.
