How to erase data from an iPhone

If you need to erase data from your iPhone, then there is a very straightforward process to ensure that your privacy and personal information is protected.

First of all, you need to open the settings app on your iPhone. After that, you will need to scroll down to General. Once on General choose the Transfer or Reset iPhone and this will take you to two options, including Erase All Content and Settings.

Make sure that before continuing you have backed up all important data on iCloud or another device to help your data from being lost. When you click on Erase All Content and Settings, it will erase all the data of your phone, including videos, photos, apps, contacts etc. Another precaution is logging out of iTunes or iCloud to ensure that no data of yours is backed up.

Lastly, remember to remove any external storage devices and your SIM card. After following these steps you can ensure that all you personal data is protected and safe.

"Service I received was great"

"The data recovery service I received was great. They were very clear from the outset about what may and may not be possible and what the cost would be. From my device being collected by a courier, to a new device being sent back to me only a matter of days later, they were in touch every step of the step way to let me know what was happening. "

"I found the service easy use"

"I found the service easy use. The recovery of my data was carried out extremely efficiently. It wasn’t cheap but the cost included a new Hard Drive. The issue for me was the recovery of my photographs, some of which were really irreplaceable. Everything I needed was carried out and the data was returned to me on the new hdd in a manner that followed my own distribution."

"Helped me retrieve the data"

"I had a damaged external hard disk that my local computer shops were unable to repair. Data Recovery Specialist help me retrieve the data quick. It's not a cheap service but it works and the data recovered was far more valuable than the repair cost. "

"Quick and professional service"

"I had dropped my external while it was spinning so did huge amounts of damage. I contacted several companies and opted for DRS. They were very quick with communication, explained everything for someone who’s not terrifically technically minded and put it all in writing as well. Collection of my device was simple, the turn around time was quicker than I expected and they kept me informed right through the process. Really pleasant and professional company. If I do break something, they would be my first port of call, but I’m hoping I won’t!"

"Fantastic job"

"The guys did a fantastic job in recovering my very important data. My interaction with Daniel Rees was very good, he was honest with what he could do to recover my very important Data. I also found their customer service department especially Roger a pleasure to deal with.
