Hi All,

I am preparing to sell an old Android handset and was recently told it is very easy to recover deleted files on them (documents, pictures etc).

So I was interested if there is a way to securely erase the device so that others cannot access my old data?

Also when deleting items from an Android handset is there a way to make them non-recoverable?

Cheers

The handset is a Galaxy S3.

Surprised Android doesn't have an option to securely erase single files or securely format the whole device...
