Part 2: How to Completely Erase All Data on iOS Devices with 1 Click
1. Data erased by this tool is permanently deleted and 100% unrecoverable. Please back up your important data beforehand.
2. DO NOT disconnect your iOS device during the whole erasing process.
3. Close iTunes before starting to prevent automatic sync from conflicting with the process.
4. Turn off "Find My iPhone" on your device so the program can access your system smoothly.
Step 1. Initiate by Clicking "Erase"
Once your device is connected, click the "Erase" button on the main screen to begin.
(1) Close iTunes: If iTunes is running on your computer, a prompt will show up. Simply click "Close iTunes" to close it and prevent automatic synchronization.
(2) Turn Off Find My iPhone: If "Find My iPhone" is enabled, disable it on your device and click "Continue". (Path: Open "Settings" > tap [your name] > "iCloud" > disable "Find My iPhone".)
Step 2. Select Your Wiping Security Level
(1) The default security level is set to Medium. You can click on "Medium" next to Security Level to select another option.
(2) There are three erasure modes available: Low Level, Medium Level, and High Level. Pick the standard you need and click "OK".
(3) Type the keyword "delete" in the box to confirm your action, then click "Erase".
Step 3. Perform "Erase All Content and Settings" Reset
To ensure maximum erasing efficiency and prevent data recovery, please reset your device using "Erase All Content and Settings" before moving forward.
Case 1: Your device has NOT been reset yet
(1) Choose "No, the device has not been reset." and hit "Next".
(2) Follow the instructions on the screen to reset your device using "Erase All Content and Settings". Your phone will reboot and temporarily disconnect during this process; DO NOT exit the program.
When the phone restarts, finish the initial setup steps, unlock your device, and reconnect it to the computer via USB.

Select "Yes, the device has been reset." When asked to verify permanent data destruction, click "OK" followed by "Next" to proceed.
Step 4. Overwrite Data to Ensure Permanent Deletion
(1) Overwriting Storage: After the reset, the tool overwrites device memory to ensure that erased data cannot be restored.
(2) Erasure Complete: Once finished, all data on your device is erased permanently with zero chance of recovery.
(3) Save Report (Optional): You can click "Save Report" to export an erasure log to your PC. It records details like device information, security level, overwrite passes, and final status.
