    Thank you! Thank you!! I'm getting ready to trade in my Galaxy S5. I started changing passwords on important accounts because I don't want anyone to access my information after I trade in my phone. This is so helpful. I finally upgraded to a Galaxy Note 9 :)

    Very useful. Thanks. Have used it, but Norton Cleaner is not in the store anymore, used avg cleaner, which is equivalent.

    Great info! That took about 10 minutes and now it's ready for the trade-in. Just the thought of the number of old phones that I left too much information on now makes me kinda sick.

    Great steps and hope work for me. Have my old phone & moved back my sim_sdcard. Will work with new phone in the a.m. Worry last step 'removing' acct. Last time not sure when I
    removed Google Acct or Best Buy did something, it wiped out Contacts on my old phone. Will
    hope this does not happen again. Bought the Moto G Power 2022. Days won't let me call and texting seems to now start needing to resend. Powers up slow but was easy to adapt being same brand of my old phone. Can't trust Moto G Power will in future get worse. Wrote all your instructions down and hope tomorrow will be a good removal day.... Thanks

    *That norton app was unnecessary but everything else was spot on.*
    You can fill dummy data after your 1st factory reset and then again factory reset the 2nd time so that recovery tools can only recover the dummy files prior to 2nd factory reset.
    Cheers.

      ​@@karishmachoudhary914 data is never erased so you can just replace it with some data like movies to fill in it's place, simply format device and then fill your whole storage with movies only and then format again.

    Great video and easy to follow! Also, don't forget to remove the sim card if the phone has one and any micro SD cards. Those SIM cards can be plugged into your new phone which will transfer your plan over, if not then they can be easily destroyed.

    • @cooldog60
      @cooldog60 2 роки тому +2

      Not sure I understand. Can they get your phone number from the card and use your phone number?

    I have a question I am going to be transfering the data from my old Samsung phone to my new phone that I received; same Samsung device.
    I am going to be using Samsung Smart Switch to transfer the data from my old phone to my new phone and then will have to send the old phone back to Asurion.
    Now, my question is since I obviously have to do these steps after transferring all of my data , apps, messages, Files etc, etc, to my new phone; after doin step one and step 2 when I get to step 3 which is shredding the data, since I am in the US would the US option be the best method to use or should I do the random method?

    One question. I shifted the whole data to the new phone. But the old phone though doesn't have a sim , by Wi-Fi continues to gather photos, video, mails and messages picked up by the new phone. If I erase data from the old phone, my fear is that will it get erased from the new phone as well, as the two appear to be connected. Please reply
