[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1623683, member: 46727"] You notice I said resetting an iPhone without iTunes is more difficult to do, I never said that it was necessary to use iTunes. That's why I included a link with instructions on how to do it. When you delete a message from your iPhone, it's still there until the space it once occupied has been overwritten. Again, if the phone is wiped (reset) that removes everything. It's just like if you take a hard drive out of a computer that has data on it and even though that data had been deleted, it can still be recovered with special software. However, if you erase the drive, reformat it and write a new operating system on it, the data that was once there is going to be almost impossible to restore. When you reset an iPhone the same thing happens. The storage memory is erased and a new operating system is installed. [/QUOTE]
