Clarify "data on the device cannot be recovered"

Please clarify the statement, "A wipe is useful for resetting a device before you give the device to a new user, or when the device has been lost or stolen. Be careful about selecting Wipe. Data on the device cannot be recovered. This level of device wipe follows a standard file delete process, rather than a low-level delete."

It says the data cannot be recovered but then says the files are simply deleted. This indicates the data could be recovered with common tools like undelete software.

Perhaps add the word "easily" so that it reads "Data on the device cannot be easily recovered."
