Hi,
I sold this phone a few days ago, so I did a factory reset, apps were gone, welcome screen appeared, all was well, but I noticed that some folders in internal storage weren't wiped, like the the Camera, Pictures, Downloads, and a few others, so I wiped them myself.
But only after selling it I forgot to check the whatsapp folder, which isn't in the storage root anymore, but at <storage>/Android\media\com.whatsapp.
Does the Android\media\ folder gets unequivocally wiped in a factory reset? Because although the whatsapp app was gone from the homescreen, I don't want other people checking my pictures in that folder, or those pictures to appear once they install whatsapp.
I used the factory reset through the settings app, and then it rebooted to the recovery to wipe the phone, however the recovery wasn't the original but TWRP. Is this significant?
