I'm not entirely convinced it 'zeros' out your data, but it’s still a safe method to clean your device. Just be cautious and make sure you back up anything important first!

Just so you know, I've read that if anything goes wrong during the erase, you can still restore it by resetting the iPad to factory settings. The only difference is that restoring it removes the software too and reinstalls it, while erasing just clears your data.
