📱Question about GrapheneOS factory reset (beehaw.org)

If I do a factory reset on my phone that has GrapheneOS on it, will that revert it to the stock android that it originally came with or to a "fresh" clean, brand new GrapheneOS? I found conflicting information about this online . . . 🤔

Fresh Graphene. In order to get stock Android back you would need to install it back on your phone. A factory reset removes all data, settings, and apps that were put on the phone by the user.

Ok, excellent! That's what I'm looking to do, thanks!

EDIT: Also, I can confirm that this works. Again, thank you.
