Hey kezia256,
If we understand correctly, you're wanting to know if restoring an iPhone to factory settings erases all data on the iPhone. If that's right, restoring a device to factory settings does erase all data and settings. If you're wanting to erase your iPhone, the following guide will help: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings
A factory restore erases the information and settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod and installs the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or iPod software.
Get your device ready
1. Make sure that your Mac or PC is updated. If you're using iTunes, make sure that you have the latest version.
2. If you want to save the information on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, make a backup.
3. Go to Settings > [your name] > Find My, tap Find My iPhone, then turn it off. Learn what to do for an unresponsive device or one that won't turn on. Get help if you forgot your passcode.
You also mention analytics data. Here's a great resource that discusses this and how to stop sharing it with Apple: Legal - Device Analytics & Privacy - Apple
Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities.
Take care!
