Clear Storage Removes all your data and files from the memory and resets your device to factory default settings.

Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs.

This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly.

A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem.

After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on.

Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.

To perform a soft reset

Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the Reset button on the bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.

To perform a hard reset

Press and hold the Left Soft Key and the Right Soft Key, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the Reset button at the bottom of your device.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings.

Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
