    Hiding data by using a factory reset option does little to delete potentially sensitive information, suggest researchers.

    Three separate investigations of Android's data deleting systems found it was possible to recover information.

    In some cases, a reset just removed the list of where data was stored and deleted nothing else.

    In particular, Tesco's Hudl tablet was found to have a flaw that let attackers get at data saved to onboard memory.
