unformatting

Clearing text decoration

Unformatting is the process of removing formatting from text or data, stripping away fonts, sizes, colors, or structural markup to leave plain content: I pasted the text and unformatted it to match the document.

In data recovery, unformatting refers to restoring a disk drive after accidental formatting has erased its contents.
