Bingo! I justg figured it out. You have to have the tablet in portrait mode! Swiping won't work if the tablet is in the horizontal or landscape orientation. Hopefully this is a bug they're going to fix! It's annoying....
Basically, you want to reset your tablet so, with your tablet off, press and hold the volume up button and the power button at the same time until the RCA logo comes onto your screen then let go, next, use the volume down button to select the wipe date/factory reset, then let it finish, lastly, select “reboot system now”
