P900 urgent help!! How do you format the internal harddrive?

OK, it's 4:30 in the morning and I'm beginning to panic. I was messing around with some fonts and I installed a corrupt GDR font in the font directory(C), and all my fonts look messed up, and it wouldn't allow me to delete it, neither via PC FILE manager nor through the phone!. So I thought oh no biggy I'll just restore an older backup, it didn't work! Apparently the backups dont write over the font directory in the internal drive. After awhile I decided to take the MASTER RESET, but even THAT didn't get rid of the font file that i installed. Is there anyway to erase EVERYTHING and start all over again? Not just a master reset, but a complete format of the C drive to factory settings?

use the jogdial (up is rolling the jogdial up once, down is rolling the jogdial down once).

It works, I also had the "pleasure" of putting a bad GDR file on C:\ drive during the testing of something (I believed it would only lock the file after a reboot, but it immediately locked down the file).

So, what I ended up doing was:
1. Backing up the phone (with the bad file).

2. Master reset as described above.

3. Restored the phone, but while the restore was running, I used the PC file manager to remove the file as it was copied into the directory.

Luckily that resolved the issue...
