Hi,

There's no built-in action to do this since I have the fear that users would start wiping their devices by accident.
Some devices provide a command wipe: wipe <system|data|all>
You could execute this command on a rooted device with action Execute Root Command: wipe all

Regards,
Martin

I think than Automagic have other Actions than if used wrong, also can do an big problem, I think than is good an Action to factory reset in Automagic for non rooted devices, it is extremily useful to do an flow to wipe the device remotely. Thanks by this reply.

You can do a factory reset in Android by the following two methods.

1. Factory reset directly in Android.
Enter Enter "Settings" > "Back up and Reset" and find "Factory data reset". Then click to do a factory reset.

2. Factory Reset in Recovery Mode
Turn off your device, press certain two keys like "Power" & "Volume +", or "Home" & "Back" to enter Recovery Mode. Then check "Wipe date/factory reset" to perform a factory reset.
