Wipe your BlackBerry device to delete the data

After you transfer data to your new BlackBerry 10 device, consider deleting all of the data on your previous BlackBerry
device. A security wipe is designed to permanently delete your data so it can't be recovered. This includes email accounts,
downloaded apps, media files, documents, browser bookmarks, and settings.
When the security wipe is complete, your device turns off automatically. To turn on your device, press the Power/Lock key.
