old backup module/new visor

I've ordered a Visor Pro and will give my old Deluxe to my wife. I'd like to give her my backup module. Is there a way to clear my data from the module before I give it to her?

The best way to clear a backup module. Currupt it! What you do:

Backup your visor. Halfway through press cancel. Or reset, or rip out the module. The module's data is currupted and cannot be restored. You can than just give the backup module to your wife, and she can backup, and the data will be rewritten and restoring willwork and eeryoen will be happy.

Corrupting the module? I'd be scared that I would totally mess it up. I would hard-reset the Deluxe, removing all your information. Then I would back up the "empty" Deluxe. This way, neither the PDA or the backup module will have your information.

Yes, that's exactly what I did since I'm selling my backup module. Of course, I restored using PiBackup,
