Hello,

While I cannot say for certain, you can perform a factory reset which effectively erases all configurable data and logs. Best bet is physical destruction.

Go to maintenance mode (SSH or serial). In factory reset you can set the disc scrubbing option. Youn can choose several parameters. Search the knowledge base, there is some documentation on this.
