We're trying to add a recovery command that performs a filesystem clean

I'm in the process of trying to add rules for recovery to allow it to
recurse through the directory tree and delete files.  But a recursive
delete by the recovery process runs afoul of a bunch of the selinux
rules for the data partition file types, and conflicts with a couple of
never allow rules for domain.

Is there a clean approach to achieving the desired effect?

I think the supported way of saving data across a factory reset is through the use of a separate partition, just as the frp partition is used to store OEM unlock status and Google account information for Android device protection. Direct access to /data from recovery is not supported and intentionally prohibited in policy.
