Well goal for sure is not a forensical aware deletion which needs DBAN etc Main point is that config backups are NOT deleted with a reset to defaults and on a hdd install it keeps 30 versions
So effectively works: Reducing backups to 1 Overwrite all credentials in config Uninstall packages This also will remove binaries of packages what a reset to default config wont do Then reset to default config. Goal is to put devices on stock for replacements in a nearly clean state for internal usage and shipping to other sites So I change question: Any chance to do this via a small shell script ?
