hi i am having a nokia s40 based hand set. and is going to sell it. i already deleted my images and personal data from it but want t make it sure that can it be recovered or not.....(as it happned in case of HDD) If yes is there a way to securely delete it???

1) Format it. Don't select the "Quick Format" option.

2) Don't worry man. Nobody will dig so deep. :wink:

On My Computer, when you select "Format" don't select "Quick Format" as that will not erase your card to the fullest (ie.It will leave some slim chances of recovery)
And Why worry man?

^^Why copy paste my answer???

r u sure that that will leavve no chances of recovery since i tried the shredders but they do not work on memory chips....

^^^ I dont think so that anybody wish to sahre threre family pics to others...(whom u dont even know.....)

^^^ Is there a surity that the data cant be recovered...???

Copy some garbage to your card to its full capacity. Than format the card. Your earlier data would never come.

@digitalage- Format your card, don't select quick format. After formatting, click a few pics of nature, animals (and such pictures). Format it again without quick format. There's no chance of recovering the previous images.

thanks every one.... i think more or less all the answers come to same point,.... copy garbage. and format.... thanks again..
