If you want
to erase your device completely, then there are a few steps to take.
Start by
backing up your device, here's how:
1.
First
of all make sure you have a backup ready. You can use either iCloud or iTunes
to back up your iOS device.
For iCloud
go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and ensure that the feature is enabled.
To see when the last backup was run look under the Back Up Now option where the
date and time should be displayed. If you haven't done a backup before you can
tap the Back up Now button and follow the instructions. For more detailed
advice on this process, read our tutorial showing how to back up an
iPhone.
2.
To
use iTunes to back up your iPhone or iPad, you'll need to plug your device into
your PC or Mac using the charging cable. Click on the iPhone or iPad icon in
the top left corner of iTunes, under the Play button.
Factory-reset
your iPhone
Once you're
confident that you've backed up your iPad or iPhone, you're ready to perform a
factory-reset. This will completely wipe your device, which is why having a
backup beforehand is so important.
1.
To
reset your iPhone or iPad go to Settings > General > Reset and then select
Erase All Content and Settings.

After
typing in your pass code if you've set one, you'll get a warning box appear,
with the option to Erase iPhone (or iPad) in red. Tap this
.

You'll
need to enter your Apple ID password to confirm the action, then the iPad or
iPhone will wipe everything off its storage and go back to the initial setup
screen you saw when you first used the device.

You
can also fully reset your iPhone or iPad through iTunes. When you plug in your
iOS device, you should be able to see a 'Restore iPhone' button, which will
fully reset the device.
