    I see, that means that it is working away. Did you have alot of content? Or a SD card in the device when doing restore?

    Erm... You have corrected me.

    'What data gets deleted?

    When you perform a wipe on a BlackBerry 10 phone, all data on the phone itself will be deleted. This includes data, files and apps. Note: If you have a Micro SD card inserted, data on the card will not be deleted.

    On the legacy BlackBerry OS you had more granular control over what you could delete during a Security Wipe (you could delete data, but not apps, etc.). On BlackBerry 10, everthing on the phone is wiped.

    When the Security Wipe process is complete, the phone will reboot to the initial Setup Wizard.'
