Public bug reported:
Formatting user data from settings app or from recovery does not actually
format userdata partition.
This is not what user expects from function description.
- One would expect to be able to use this functionality as recovery from
corrupted fs
- if filesystem is corrupted and mounted read only as fallback, then no files
would be ever deleted, leading to user's deadlock
- hidden files or directories in the root of user data are not deleted.
Expected result:
user data partition is formatted and new fs is created
Actual result:
non hidden files are deleted, if there are any hidden files or directories,
those are not deleted. Same happens for some 'special files'
Tested on krillin RTM r16
