how do I format the ROM?

Title says it all. I want to start fresh and hard reset my axim x50v and erase everything, even on the Built-in storage. But whenever I try to do that from Resco File explorer or the built in file explorer, I get a "disk is locked" kind of error message.

Everything in the BIS will stay. You will have to delete it manualy.

I would first, go into file explorer and delete everything. You might have to uninstall anything installed to that location so you don't get that same file sharing error.

Then do a hard reset.

I would do it in the opposite order, I would do a hard reset and then use file explorer and just try to delete the built-in storage folder, it'll delete everything in the folder and then tell you is can't delete the folder itself. That way you don't have to worry about any file sharing errors.

Press the power button and the reset button at once to hard reset.
