Want to cancel a 'Pending Erase' on iphone... Any suggestions?
Cancel an erase
If your device is offline, the remote erase happens the next time it is online. If you find the device before it is erased, you can cancel the request.

In Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, click All Devices, then select the device.
If you do not see All Devices, it is because you have already selected a device. Click the name of the current device in the centre of the toolbar to access the Devices list, then select a new device.

Click Stop Erase Request, then enter your Apple ID password.
