Long story short, I got a Hisense C11 Chromebook to do work with. I want to sell it because I wasn't really impressed with it, but I want to wipe all the data off of it since it had client CC#s and other personal data.
On any other computer I could just DBAN it or something and that would be that. This thing doesn't even run .exes. How can I clean it thoroughly?
Pic somewhat related (mfw I realized I just spent $150 on something that does less than a $50 tablet).

Chromebooks encrypt all their user-data.
All you need to do is remove your user profile, and that will delete the encryption session key, putting your files out of even the NSA's reach.

What if work was done and occasionally saved on the guest account?

By definition, you can't save work on the guest account.
It's wiped every time you log out.

Yeah but is it wiped so that it's not recoverable?
I could just factory reset and sell it on craigslist but i don't want someone mining the data off of it and finding a million bajillion credit card numbers from my clients.
