I have a lot of private staff on M5 and what should I do to erase all content and settings from it before selling? Factory reset is enough?

The default “factory reset” on Android may not be enough to permanently eliminate personal data on your old device.

Factory reset is the easiest option but if your data is very important or sensitive, you'd better use professional Android eraser tool to do that to avoid the deleted data being recovered.

Factory Reset can't help you to delete phone data completely and
permanently because the deleted data still exist on your device. You'd better try to find a powerful and compact data wiping software. Another option: https://www.mobikin.com/data-clean/erase-android-data-before-selling.html
