Android - AVD Wipe user data isn't working

Question

When I start an AVD and choose to Wipe user data, all of my previously input data and apps are still on the device when the emulator starts.

In Eclipse...

1. Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager
2. Select an AVD
3. Click Start...
4. Check Wipe user data
5. Click Launch

Once the emulator starts, my random contacts I entered are still there, my test development apps I've installed via Eclipse are still there...

If Wipe user data doesn't wipe this type of data, what does it do? And how do I wipe my AVD back to default settings, short of deleting it and making a new one?
