    This video was like, life-changing for me. It also speeds up the phone like crazy if it's been a while so I do it every 6 months or so.

    *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.

    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 Před 2 lety +2

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

    • @g.s.3450
      @g.s.3450 Před 2 lety

      Thanks for this additional detail! I just removed my SIM cards so, the old phone now has none of my perssonal data! 🙂

    • @Kimberly-gd5ce
      @Kimberly-gd5ce Před rokem +1

      Thank you for the reminder to remove the Sim or any SD cards. Do you remove the sim card before or after you clear/clean the phone and factory reset? Thank you again!

    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.

  • @borndiy5490
    @borndiy5490 Před rokem +1

    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
