How can I erase all personal data from an e72?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. 
I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box. 
So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call). 
But this hasn't removed my email accounts, text message inbox or calendar appointments from the phone, or removed applications that I installed. 
Is there a simple way to erase all private data, as I really don't want the handset going back with all my work and private details on there.

Yep, make sure it gets the most recent update when you get it (guide): http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
I would recommend to use memorycard as messagememory. You fixe that in messaging->options->settings->other.
Try to install all 3rd party apps on memorycard and stay away from awkward themes
Clear the privacy data within the browser once in a while (if you surf a lot).
As much free space on the phone memory seems to be a good thing. I had the E71, and E72 and never had better phones with better buildquality. The E72 is fast too.
If you concider this thread as Solved, set it as solved and set the post you felt answered your questions as solution. Enjoy your new device!

    backup the device and restore it as new.
    If you already have or don't need a backup:

  • Erase all personal data from not working phone?

    Long story short: my attempt at replacing my iPhone 2g dock connector did not end well.
    My phone now consists of several parts.
    It's probably not going to be worth buying replacement parts and putting it back together (about 75 dollars in parts for a phone I paid 125 dollars for), and I'd like to cut my losses.
    I obviously can not connect this to iTunes and hit 'reset' a few times.
    Is there any way I can completely erase all my personal data - phonebook, recorded memos and stuff recorded in apps (aNote specifically, because it contains my diary and I think I temporarily disabled the passcode a few days ago) ?
    The Long story:
    I knew it had a broken dock connector and I couldn't figure out how to get to, I also broke the ribbon that comes out of the digitizer, and the battery kinda exploded when I tried to pry it loose and poked a hole into it with a screwdriver (sparks and all - turns out it was superglued to the aluminum) - so in order not to short out other parts I instantly cut all wires that connected the battery to everything else.
    In my defense I did successfully open up and replace the battery on an iPod nano so I like to think I'm not a complete idiot... (the digitizer ribbon got snagged behind a sharp edge when I very carefully pulled the screen off, and my YouTube instruction video said to leverage something underneath the battery..it's not supposed to be glued in like that?).

    Thank you.
    Although not really the answer I was hoping for
    The only expensive replacement part I needed was the screen/digitizer combo which is 50 dollars.. antenna wire, new battery and replacement dock were about 15 dollars.
    So I'm going to try and fix it. Will be good for my ego too if I succeed, little less so for the bank account. Wish me luck (if it fails I'll break the perfectly fine motherboard and sell the rest of the parts..)

  • How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

    Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

    Hi Vanessa,
    There are two ways to solve your problem.
    1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
    2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I erase all my data from my iPad mini?

    I purchased a new Ipad mini yesterday.  I want to return it but first would like to erase all my data entered.  The only information I found on how to do this requires that one go to settings>general>reset>erase all data.  I tried this; however, my mini has no reset option in settings>general.  Any suggestions?

    On an iPad Mini the charger port is very small, the cable should look like this:
    The larger plug goes to the charger brick.  The smaller thinner plug goes into the iPad's port, labeled Lightning Connector in the picture below.

  • How can I wipe all user data from my phone before ...

    Hi,
    Please could you let me know if you have any tips for preparing a phone to be sold or given to someone else. I have an N80.
    I can take out the memory card, use an external usb reader, and securely wipe that without any problem.
    However, it is the phone's internal memory I'm thinking about.
    I have tried doing a factory settings reset, but this still leaves text messages, and some applications. I could manually delete / uninstall these, but I'd probably miss something.
    I'm not necessarily looking for full secure overwriting (although that would be good), but just some way of deleting all personal data.
    Thanks for your help,
    Charlie

    Turn the phone off, get someone to help you at this point. Whilst you hold down the green phone, the star(*) key and the number (3) key, get the other person to turn the phone back on. Keep holding down the keys as idicated until the unit prompts for the pin or if no sim is inserted plays the nokia hands welcome video.
    Phone would have been restored to "out of box" state!

  • HT204085 How can we delete all the data from iphone keychain of all the apps?

    Is it possible to delete all the data from keychain? Cleaning keychain, which delete all the item stored in keychain of all the applications on iDevices. Programatically can we do it?

    Depends whether you have selected Lock when Full or Wrap when Full for the Buffer Mode. If you have selected Lock When Full, the capture will stop when the the buffer is full. You can then Save the Buffer and download it in the form of sniffer file and start you capture again. This will over write the old data. If you have selected Wrap when Full, then it will continue the capture when the buffer is full. The oldest packets are discarded as new packets arrive.

  • How can I transfer all my data from my current iCloud account to a new one?

    Hello,
    Please allow me to explain my situation:
    I currently use an iCloud account named, for example, [email protected]
    I have recently rebranded my business from www.current.com to www.new.com.
    Because of this, I would like to create a new iCloud account with an email account name of [email protected]
    I realize that I can achieve a similar result by adding an alias of [email protected] from my [email protected] email, but I would like to change my account name for the iCloud service itself as well, not just email. This is for aesthetic reasons because I would like to have the same login for everything I use.
    How I can transfer all my iCloud data from [email protected] to [email protected]? I would like to transfer all data completely, as I use every feature of iCloud extensively, including email folders, notes, Safari bookmarks, etc.
    Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.

  • How can i recover all my data from my HDD?

    My main External Hdd while writing to it got an error saying Cyclic Redundancy I tried using Chkdsk but it states that the data had turned RAW. Upon
    restarting my pc the disk drive H was no longer visible and the Hdd space is now unallocated space. 
    I want to recover all of the data if possible but most of the software i found was only one file type recovery software, I know that resigning the Volume
    to H will format the drive but as i dont want that i m lost . Can MiniTool Power Data Recovery help me ?

    Hi,
    As you said, in order to recovery deleted files or files on a corrupted disk, we will have to use a third party application.
    At this situation you may have to confirm with application provider to contact a data recovery company to see if files could be recovery. Generally a format will not affect finding the files back but as files on that disk is important, it is not recommended.
    Also if available it is good to ghost that disk and try steps on that ghost copy to product the original one. But if it is a hardware issue you may not able to get data back.
