You don’t want prying eyes to get to your data and therefore you will want to ensure that all data is removed before you send it off for any repairs. A third situation is that your phone needs to get repaired because perhaps you dropped it. In order to do that, you again will want to ensure that all data is permanently deleted and is not somewhere in your device, stored and hidden and thus using memory as a result.

The second situation in which you may need to delete your data is that your iPad or iPhone is giving you problems or has become really slow and you want to ‘renew’ its memory so that it can start working super-fast like it used to. For many people that might be a very horrible situation therefore it is best to ensure you delete your data permanently. In order to do that you will firstly want to make sure that you delete your data permanently so that the new user of your iPhone or iPad – after you sell it or give it away – will not be able to access any of your files and personal data without your knowledge. For example, it is Christmas and you got a new iPad or iPhone and now you want to get rid of your previous model. There might be several reasons why you want to delete your data for good and why it is a better for you to do it.
