Basically, there's hard reset and soft reset.
The tiny hole is used for a soft reset. For example, if your tablet doesn't close an app correctly and such minor issues.
But this soft reset doesn't delete any apps or sets the device back to its original state.
If you want to reset your tablet to the original state, that's a hard reset.
You can do this in the settings on Android.
Usually, there's some combination of keys as well to do so. Obviously helpful, if you can't get into the settings when your tablet acts up. This combination of keys differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. You'd have to google foe your tablet.
If you do a hard reset, you tablet is set back to the state when you bought it. All apps you installed will be gone, all settings are back to the original ones.
If your only problem is the number of apps you tested and want to get rid off, a simple uninstall of the respective apps should do.
