There are several ways to format a Nokia mobile phone. You can only clear the information on the memory card, reset the settings to factory defaults, or completely clear all of your personal data and settings.
Instructions
Step 1
If you need to delete photos, videos and other data stored on the memory card from the phone memory, you should only format the memory card. To do this, go to the menu - applications - file manager - memory card - functions - memory card functions - format. You can also format the memory card by connecting your phone to a computer in USB storage mode and right-clicking on the memory card icon in Windows Explorer and selecting the "Format" menu item.
Step 2
If you need to reset your phone to factory defaults, you should do a Soft reset. To do this, enter the service command * # 7780 # on the phone keypad or enter the menu - parameters - phone control - initial parameters. When prompted for the code, enter 12345 and the settings will be reset. At the same time, on some Nokia models, partial loss of your personal data is possible, so save your contacts and other information.
Step 3
In the case when you need to completely format the phone, including all personal data and settings, you should do a Hard reset. Dial the service command * # 7370 # on the phone keypad. When prompted for the code, enter 12345. All data and settings will be deleted and cannot be restored, so make sure to create a backup beforehand.
