Windows 10: Need mobile formatting software

Possibly selling my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet in a few days. Would like to format/delete all data on hard drive. Have too many passwords auto-saved. Is there anything I can install onto a flash drive and run from same flash drive? Will the old Format.exe work with Windows 10 on the tablet?

Thanks for any help and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Default Supported File Types

Supported file types is dependent on the software that is installed on a device. Many WM6.1 windows mobile devices include Word, Excel and PowerPoint, which supports Office 2007 file formats, and the mobile version of Windows Media Player, which supports
WMA, WMV, and MP3 formats. If you want a windows mobile device to be compatible with a particular file format, you'll need to assess if there is software on the device that accommodates the format or else find a windows mobile application that supports the
format.

Are there some specific file formats you wish to use on a mobile device?

Software Have Different Sizes...!!!

The recovery tool will wipe everything on the phone including the firmware - therefore, those files are needed in order for the software to write the system files onto the phone. Similar to installing a new operating system on a computer hard drive.

 

There is this Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums. It has CCleaner installed which you can use to write zeros to free space.

Or you can still use format.exe and don't specify /Q for the quick format (so it will write zeros to your drive) and then re-install Windows.

The easiest would be to take the reset option and select "fully clean my drive" rather than "just remove my files".

According to Microsoft it works as follows:

Happy thanksgiving to you too *Smile
