etrex 30 doesn't reset

I followed the instruction to perform a factory reset on my etrex 30. vers. 2.70

Press:menu,enter &light (on/off) and hold until reset question appears.

When it asked if I wanted to reset everything, I toggled the response to "Yes" and pressed enter.

The device seemed to reset since it presented a language menu and other settings were reverted to defaults, but upon entering the waypoint manager, all of my waypoints were still present.

I repeated this several times to no avail. i.e. I want to get everything in the device memory refreshed. I had a GPX corruption, I had it connected to mac. There are several entries in the system.xml <errors> section and I would like to get it all refreshed to just bare bones.

How do I get a factory reset accomplished? Delete everything on the device and then reinstall from webupdater?

Version 2.70
