How to restore the play market if you accidentally deleted it

Hello, smartphone owners who see their device not only as a phone, but also as a convenient device for work, planning the day and entertainment.

You know that sometimes you have to tinker a lot before setting up programs and applications for yourself. And sometimes the user deleted the play market and doesn’t know how to restore it. This task can indeed be difficult, especially if the Google Play password has been carelessly forgotten.

Meanwhile, fans of simple and functional Android today cannot live without the Google Store, because there are a sea of applications there: books, music, films, games, screensavers, calendars, notepads and a lot of other useful things. And today we will look at how it can be restored.

What to do if Play Market was accidentally deleted

Play Market is the original component in the firmware of most of the latest tablets and smartphones running Android OS. When you turn on the device for the first time, you already find the treasured icon on your display.

If you accidentally deleted the Play Store, you can try to install it again by downloading it from the official Google website. Installing the Store will require a number of simple steps:

A smartphone or tablet must receive permission to install programs from unfamiliar resources. Find the “Security” section in the settings to activate the corresponding item.
Then open a browser protected by an antivirus and find the Play Market. Moreover, you should be interested in the file with the .apk extension. Further installing it on your phone should not cause any difficulties.
The first time the app is opened, it will ask for your Google account. And then all you have to do is provide your email address along with your password.

The Play Market is installed - and you can again download interesting and useful applications, tested from a security point of view and conveniently sorted by ratings.

Factory reset

If the Play Market on your device is still deeply embedded in the system, then if it is not working properly, do not rush to remove it. Such an action can lead to big problems in the operation of many other Google applications that depend on it.

In this case, you can try to reset to factory settings, but this can only be done if it is installed on your smartphone, that is, you have superuser rights. Otherwise, your maximum authority is to stop applications.

But before you reset your settings, be sure to make a backup copy of your Google account.

To reset to factory settings:

go to the “Settings” menu and find “Backup;
select “Reset data”;
reboot your device;
restore a backup copy of your Google account data.

If resetting to factory settings does not help and the problem with the Play Store is not solved, then the only way out is to reflash the smartphone at a service center.

If you have forgotten your Google Play password

If you previously provided personal data to Google, then recovery is not difficult:

From your PC, go to the main page of the official Google website.
Click "Login". When the "Can't sign in to your account?" form opens.
Then enter the email address that was linked to the service and your phone number.
You will receive a code via SMS, after entering it you will create a new password.

If personal data is not specified, recovery will take slightly longer:

On the Google home page, now click “I can’t use my phone” in the box.
To verify your identity, you will answer questions, mainly related to the dates of login and creation of your account.
And after that, a letter with instructions from technical support will be sent to the specified mailbox.

Frequent problems with Play Market

The Play Market on the device may not launch if it crashes or the system is attacked by viruses.

Restarting Android may help. Or just reset the Play Store settings and clear temporary memory. Go to “Applications”, click on Play Market. There you can click a button to clear the cache and delete data.

You can also try refusing updates. Sometimes the previous version is more friendly with a particular smartphone. It's not always a matter of imperfect updates. It’s just that sometimes the parameters of a weak device are better accepted by less modified, and therefore lighter, older versions of programs.

If you have problems with the Play Market, you can restart your Google account. To do this, you need to log out and log in again by re-entering your email and password. Then be sure to start syncing.

Resetting Android settings is almost a last resort. But if you have to resort to it to adjust the operation of services on Google, including the Play Market, then do not forget about first saving documents that are important to you.

Many people use the Play Market. And even if you have a smartphone or an Android device, problems and accidental deletions can occur on different models. And now you know what to do about it.
