What Are the Limitations of a Factory Reset?
Factory resets aren’t perfect. They don’t delete everything on the computer. The data will still exist on the hard drive. Such is the nature of hard drives that this type of erasure doesn’t mean getting rid of the data written to them, it just means the data can no longer be accessed by your system. As you begin to use th_e factory reset computer_ and add new data to storage, it will be written over the old data. Eventually, if you use the entire storage, all of the old data will be overwritten and will cease to exist.

Factory resets, because of their simplicity, create a false sense of security. You will feel like your data is securely deleted while it’s really still all there. If you really want to create high standards of security for your company and your information really is that important, it may help to get special software to perform complete data erasure, or use methods like degaussing (destroying the magnetic field on the hard disk completely to destroy all of its data) to render hard drives completely useless.
