delete iphone data permanently
I said before, the lost or deleted iPhone data still can be recovered with the help of iPhone data recovery tool. For those iPhone users who want to recover data is good news. However, for those who want to sell his phone are terrible, that’s mean the purchaser is possible to view the deleted data on iPhone. Then, is there any way to delete iPhone data permanently before selling? Sure!

Attention: you should make a backup of your iPhone data before sell it and do deletion so that you can keep these file on your new phone. There are three ways you can do a backup:
-iTunes
-iCloud
-iAny Manager (Recommended!)

When the backup is finished, you can start to erase iPhone data permanently. Write more bulk data like videos into your iPhone is a very simple but incomplete way, because the new data is possible to cover the deleted data but we cannot make sure all the deleted data can be overwritten. Therefore, you should follow the ways below.

Way 1: Delete iPhone data with iTunes


This way is to delete the backup file which contains the iPhone data. The process goes like this:

Step 1:

Step 2:
Don’t connect iPhone with iTunes, on the Preferences tab, click “Devices”. Then iTunes will show the backup info for finding the backup.

Step 3:
Mark the backup file you need to deleted, and click “Delete Backup” button.

Way 2: Completely delete data from iPhone itself
