<strong>iPhone</strong>, what I want <strong>to</strong> recommend here is using the Coolmuster iOS Eraser, which<br />

messages, call logs, emails, account info, passwords, videos, pho<strong>to</strong>s, documents, etc.,<br />

with any recovery <strong>to</strong>ol.<br />

using Coolmuster iOS Eraser. Here, we will set Windows version as an example.<br />

If you are a Mac owner, you can get the Mac version and refer <strong>to</strong> guide as well.<br />

Tips: Please do back up data on your <strong>iPhone</strong> be<strong>for</strong>e getting further, because the<br />

program will erase all data and settings from your <strong>iPhone</strong> without res<strong>to</strong>ration. And<br />

ensure the latest iTunes has installed on your computer <strong>to</strong> ensure successfully<br />

connection.


Step 1. Connect <strong>iPhone</strong> <strong>to</strong> Computer and Launch Software<br />

First of all, download and install the data erasing program <strong>for</strong> <strong>iPhone</strong> on your computer.<br />

Launch it and you will see its clear and user-friendly interface showing like below.<br />

Connect your old <strong>iPhone</strong> that you want <strong>to</strong> give away <strong>to</strong> your computer using the Apple<br />

provided USB cord and once the connection is successful, your <strong>iPhone</strong> will be detected by<br />

the program au<strong>to</strong>matically. Just click "Erase" but<strong>to</strong>n <strong>to</strong> move on.


Step 2. Choose Lever of <strong>Data</strong> Erasing as Needed<br />

The program offers three different levels of data erasing <strong>for</strong> your choice. The first level<br />

will erase your <strong>iPhone</strong> data quickly <strong>to</strong> save your time. The second level will leave no<br />

traceability of data erasure and use random data <strong>to</strong> overwrite all existing and deleted<br />

data on your <strong>iPhone</strong>. The third level is the most secure but time-consuming option which<br />

will write over the data 3 times. You can directly use the default second level.


Step 3. Start <strong>to</strong> Erase All <strong>Data</strong> on Your <strong>iPhone</strong><br />

Here comes the final step. What you need <strong>to</strong> do is just clicking the but<strong>to</strong>n of "Erase" and<br />

type "delete" on the popup window, and then the program will delete all data from your<br />

<strong>iPhone</strong> immediately. Wait <strong>for</strong> a few while, all data will be erased permanently from your<br />

<strong>iPhone</strong>. When erasing process is complete, your <strong>iPhone</strong> will be au<strong>to</strong>matically reboot.<br />

If you choose Middle or High level of erasing, the program will continue <strong>to</strong> overwrite<br />

your <strong>iPhone</strong> data <strong>to</strong> ensure higher security <strong>for</strong> your personal data.


Please keep your <strong>iPhone</strong> connected <strong>to</strong> the computer until the erasing process<br />

finishes. When it is done, you will get a <strong>to</strong>tally "clean slate" <strong>iPhone</strong> with no data<br />

on it at all. No any data recovery <strong>to</strong>ol can recover them from your <strong>iPhone</strong>.<br />
