Solve : Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet - Anyone know how to scrub personal data off of this??

Answer»

My one friend Lynn needs to scrub her data / passwords for e-mail etc, off of a Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet before returning it. Anyone have one of these to show how this is DONE. I told her that I would check for her, but that I have never touched one of these to assist much other than getting answers from others online. I am not sure if this device has a flash chip that can be removed and wiped clean and reinstalled etc, although if it does, that would probably be the best way to wipe it clean, however maybe there is a factory RESET option available that I am not aware of.

Below is info as copy/pasted from my e-mail:

Hi Dave,

How are you doing? As luck would have it , I BOUGHT what was advertised as a new Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet on Ebay and used it for a few days to find out that it wasn’t new and might have problems. The seller has owned up to his misrepresentation and is willing to refund my $$ and SHIPPING. I just need to reinitialize or scrub it of my sensitive information and send it back as soon as the refund clears my bank. I had entered emails and done some browsing. I’ve tried to find a feed on doing this task on an android note 8.0 without much luck.
It's called a "factory reset" or "hard reset". You can Google for "factory reset Galaxy Note 8.0". or "hard reset Galaxy Note 8.0". You will get HUNDREDS of hits.
