Erase vita save data?

Im selling my vita games on ebay and I saw some guy saying in his bid description that he will tell buyers how to erase save data. I thought save data was saved to the vita mem card, not the game card? So if im to sell my vita games I guess im gonna have to do this, anyone know how?

If the game saves the data onto the cart itslrf, you should be able to erase the save data by just deleting the file from the game's menu itself. If that isn't an option,as its up to the developer's discretion how they want to handle saves, then it's likely it saves the data onto the memory card instead of the game cartridge itself, so you wouldn't need to worry about it in that case. If I were you, I would just attempt both to be sure. You can usually find out where the game saves the data to (physical cart or memory card) in the game manual. And just so I can get on my soapbox, it's a really bad situation for digital games. Because obviously at that point it will only save on the memory card. And you when you delete the game to save space, you are forced to delete the saves as well. Sure you can back the saves up to a PS3 or PC, but that's just unintuitive. They should have done it like the PSP or PS3. KurodaMurasaki
