    Go to settings and if there is a place called privacy go to. All phones have it, you just have to find it

    In there you will find something get that says "factory data reset* if you do that all the information should be gone.

    you will need to do a master reset, on an iPhone, you would go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting.

    on an android 4.2.1 you go to Settings>Backup and reset>Factory data reset.

    other than that, I am lost.

    hope this helps,

    if it doesn't, you should tell people what kind of phone you have
