Q: Erase all content and settings IPhone 4S
I am trying to erase all content and settings from an IPhone 4S. When I start the process the display changes to the little spinning circle in the middle of the screen. I left it plugged in and running like that all night last night (around 12 hours). Finally I powered it off and back on. Everything was still there. Should it take that long, or is there something I'm missing here?

Something went wrong. On a 4S, this should take a minute or two at most. Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore as a new device:

Will accomplish the same thing.
