It depends on the type of NVRAM, and how it is implemented.

It usually requires a software routine to clear the file table, or erase the memory.

Compact Flash, Smart Media, Memory Stick, are all itterations of NVRAM.

To a lesser extent, theCMOS memory that holds the BIOS settings is a type of NVRAM.

You need to find the manual for th edevice with the NVRAM, and follow the instructions on how to clear it.

For motherboards that us NVRAM in place of the CMOS, you normally;
set theclear jumper,
bootup,
shut down,
change the jumper back,
and reboot.
