Factory reset of OpenWrt router, are my sensitive config files really not recoverable after command "firstboot"?

Factory reset of OpenWrt router, are my sensitive config files really not recoverable after command "firstboot"?

I would like to give away an old OpenWrt router. I have done the following.

firstboot -y && reboot
/dev/ubi0_1 is mounted as /overlay, only erasing files
Connection to 192.168.55.12 closed by remote host.

Is this really safe, can my config files not be restored? I don't really trust this command because it was done way too fast.

If this command does not safely delete the config files, how can I do this (without damaging the OpenWrt installation)?
