Do photos survive a factory reset (Android)? [migrated]
I sold my old Oreo but I'm paranoid. I had about twenty old photos (nothing special) and I deleted them, even from the trash. Then factory reset.
I recorded some blank videos and then a factory reset. Another x2 factory reset.
(I didn't have screen lock)
I know, Oreo is FBE but I still don't know if those encrypted files remain there or are deleted via garbage collection with the use of the phone.
My real question is this: in 6 months will those stupid encrypted files still be on the phone or will they have already been removed? Will they be there forever inaccessible?
