Erase USB Drive: Erases all files stored in USB drive storage, such as pictures, videos and music.

Full Erase: Erases application data and settings, apps you installed and USB drive storage files. Use Full Erase if you want a clean erase of your currently installed apps and files but plan to continue using the smartphone.

Secure Full Erase: Erases application data and settings, apps you installed and USB drive storage files. Use Secure Full Erase if you plan to give the smartphone away and you do not want your data and files to be recoverable even using a third-party tool. Secure Full Erase performs a complete wipe of the smartphone and takes considerably longer than a regular full erase.

About the full erase options

In most cases, you can perform a regular full erase if you want to erase downloaded applications and USB drive storage files from your smartphone. Perform a secure full erase when you give your smartphone to somebody else and you don't want that person to be able to access your data.

Regardless of which full erase option you choose, all your data on the web—in your online accounts and in your HP webOS Account—is untouched.

After either type of full erase, you can sign in to your HP webOS Account either on a new webOS smartphone or the same smartphone you just erased. Signing in restores your HP webOS Account data and information from online accounts (see What information is backed up?), but not your stored files such as pictures, videos and music (you must copy those again to the smartphone; see Copy files between your smartphone and your computer).
