Factory reset of Galaxy Samsung with Android

This is just a reminder to myself after trying to do a factory reset of Android on a Samsung Galaxy.

The wrong way: trying to boot the phone in recovery mode and choosing to format data. After reboot all data were intact.

The solution was to power on the phone and go to Settings -> SD Card & Phone Settings -> Factory Data Reset. After that operation the phone was clean.
