MDM Feature request: wipe user data without resetting to factory defaults

True, therefore I hoped to be able to place this as a feature request towards Apples, since the MDM framework obviously needs to be extended for this.

Fully resetting and re-enrolling devices doesn’t seem Apple-like for such a simple task.

We're running on ASM, which allows the same actions. But sometimes our students are having fun setting chinese as the system language and we do not open our WiFi to all of our students, so not all of our users can do the required steps.

Furthermore, even if they did, they'd have to wait for all apps to be installed; as a teacher, you don't want to start your lesson with a course waiting for their apps to be installed...

Hence, I'd really appreciate a MDM feature to be implemented by Apple, which allows wiping user content and keeping the profiles, language and region.

Btw: How can you do this with zero touch? For zero touch you can’t use Apple Configurator, since you need to plug the devices in (some of our devices are off site.) After wiping, I need to set language and region manually. Is there a way to avoid this? And finally I need to select a wifi network prior to activation. The old „Apple Store“-ssid trick doesn’t seem to work anymore since iOS 14. How do you connect your devices touchless?

So you suggest rather than asking Apple to implement a simple feature in MDM which already exists on-device I’d better buy hundreds of new iPads? Ok, technically it’s a solution, however, it doesn’t solve my problem...

Yeah sort of. Since they share the iPads, it is necessary to wipe user data from time to time. Since most of our devices only have 32GB, the shared iPad feature is not available.
