Reset my Rebel T6 to factory settings

I am trying to reset my Rebel T6 to original factory settings and I go to MENU, then 3rd Wrench and where it should say "Clear Settings" it does not exist, only WIFI enable/disable. Any help as to what I'm doing wrong? Sorry for the poor photo.

The camera can only be factory reset in the creative ie (M, Av, Tv & P) modes. Full Auto and other Basic Zone settings do not show the whole menu system.

Thank you. You are correct of course. Now it says Busy...Please Wait. Is this normal?

Jim

Does the camera just continue saying busy.

Yes, 5-6 times for the last 15 minutes. 

Jim

So you're saying when you set "restore to factory" the camera stays stuck saying "busy".

Removed memory card 1st, same result. Then removed lens, same result. Here is a photo of what it says, "Busy...Please Wait" Sorry for blurry photo, I tried many times, but I only have 1/2 second before it blinks off.

Have you tried resetting the camera with both of them removed. Why exactly do you need to reset the camera.
