I'm leaving my job today and giving back my work 8520.
How do I delete everything off my phone? so emails, pics, BBM contacts etc.
basically want to give them back a new phone.

You need to reset thr phone to Factory settings. This will wipe all your data

Erasing the data with the Wipe Handheld option

Go to Options.
Then go to Security.
Then go to General Security.
Click the trackball and choose Wipe Handheld.
Then choose Continue.
Then type blackberry and all of the data should be erased.

Erasing the data and applications

First connect to Desktop Manager on your comptuer.
Double click the Application Loader icon.
Click Next to go through the Wizard.
When asked for your password type in an incorrect password and click Next. You will need to do this ten times.
Then choose Close. The device will become unresponsive in a 507 error without any software.
To re-install software open the Application Loader and choose the software or applications you would like to install.

Clearing device databases
Connect to Desktop Manager on your computer.
Double click on the Backup and Restore icon, then choose Advanced.
Select all of the databases while holding down the Shift key, and then choose Clear.
Then choose OK and all databases will be erased.
Then choose Close.
