IPAQ 3970 Hard Resetting

[marcgrody]

I am selling my IPAQ and want to clear all the data. I have tried hard resetting (holding down the two outer keys - calender and itask and pressing the reset button for five seconds) to no avail. I get the default Compaq screen plus a chime after five seconds but the data does not clear. I suspect that I must have previously selected an option to store data in ROM but cannot figure out how to clear it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to our forums.
Tap on START --> PROGRAMS --> FILE EXPLORER, there is a pull-down menu below the File Explorer title bar, pull it down and select MY DEVICE, then tap on IPAQ FILE STORE and you will then be able to delete its contents.
