    3 Steps to Erase Samsung Contacts (Phone Numbers) & Text Messages

    Step 1. Connect Samsung phone to your computer
    Launch the installed Android Data Eraser, link your old Samsung phone from which you want to delete data to your computer with USB cord. Once the connection is successful, the program will detect your mobile phone automatically and show all the contained data on the main interface in categories.

    (1) For Android 2.3 or earlier: Enter "Settings" < Click "Applications" < Click "Development" < Check "USB debugging".
    (2) For Android 3.0 to 4.1: Enter "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging".
    (3) For Android 4.2 or newer: Enter "Settings" < Click "About Phone" < Tap "Build number" for several times until getting a note "You are under developer mode" < Back to "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging".

    Once the USB debugging is enabled, click "Allow" on your phone to allow the program super user authorization when an Superuser Request pops up.

    Step 2: Choose Your Wanted Data Erasing Level
    The program provides you with three levels of data erasing. The first level will erase your phone data quickly to save your time. The second level will leave no traceability of data erasure and use random data to overwrite all existing and deleted data on your phone. The third level is the most secure option which will write over the data 3 times. You can directly use the default second level.
