    Hello
    Why you have to erase the memory?... If you mean the personal information you can format the HDD. It's not a good idea to make a "memory clear"

      If by hidden you mean greyed out, you need to be logged in to User Tools as the correct administrator.

        Formatting the HDD through SP mode does not erase the data. It only erases the folder and directory structure. To erase everything. the drive needs to be connected to a computer and a low level format done or use a drive utility that can do a wipe disk function.

          you may have optional software installed
          goto user tools extended features and look if you have you may need to be logged in as admin to uninstall them

            x2 on this.
            I would just add that you may need to enable administrator authentication first, before you're able to login

              If the optional software is installed as an APP at the SOP, you can uninstall it in SOP Service Mode.

                          There are multiple Administer accounts (3 or 4) and each can have a different logins and be assigned different access. All supervisor can do is modify the administrators. Make sure the credentials you are using has the needed access and does require a password,
