Guest rxxus200 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just did a test on my HTC One M9 and found out the data is still accessible after factory reset. I am wondering what is the secure way to delete all data from Android phone so the next owner could't get private information from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the factory reset will completely erase your data on Android phone, the data still be recoverable by some data recovery.. see this: https://www.androidpit.com/why-a-factory-reset-doesn-t-wipe-all-your-data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mobileaddict Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) If you really want to wipe it all out then there are 2 ways to do it, 1st is by going to the settings of your phone then look for factory reset option and 2nd one is by doing a hard reset. Try searching google on how to hard reset your phone. Edited October 23, 2017 by mobileaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
