Wiping the X50 clean

I'm selling my X50 and need to delete all my personal data and files, both from built-in storage, as well as my SD memory card. Having read earlier posts on this I know that performing a hard reset will delete all my data, but my question is: what happens to the programs that were factory installed by Dell, such as IE, Pocket Excel and Word, Windows Media, etc? I've already back-up all my personal data and files, but I want to be certain my buyer gets the Axim in the same condition I received it from Dell.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Dan

Hard reset returns it to "out of the box".
What was on it when you got it will be there and nothing else.

If memory serves, hard resets won't wipe the BIS....you have to do that manually. (Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken)

I wouldn't dare correct you Wendy.
You may well be right, I was thinking WM5.
I don't really remember how the older ones work.
