Mobile erasing help!


I am trying to erase all old information on my old Nokia N73, been able to get rid of everything except what's in the Calender.. I have tried with a firmware upgrade but its up to date and it wont let me do a re-installation of it.. I know this would have worked because I did the mistake of not saving everything when I did it the first time months ago!

Also, since I have another Nokia I can't really delete what's in the Outlook and do a synchronisation to get rid of it since it would mess up the Calender in my other mobile!

In any case, do you have any solution as how to get rid of everything that is in my Calender without having to manually delete them one by one!

Cheers
Tom

Go to Calender > Options > Delete Entry > All Entries. Hopefully that should do it.

Nope, tried that but it still left all Contacts, Text Messages and Calender Entries intact.

That did it, thank you very much!

Edit: Tried to give you rep for it Omairt, but have to spread it around a bit first so all I can give you is a Thank You! Unless you want an Infraction instead?

btw, did you try to reset from the interface or the other way for the hard/factory reset?

For the other way, press and hold the green button + 3 + asterisk, as you turn on your phone. This should erase everything.

I did it from the interface, i.e. through the Menu..

That only resets all the settings on the phone, which is why it wasn't doing what you wanted.

And yeah don't try what i suggested, it causes a massive black-hole to form and then something happens.
