Voice Memos and Notes during Erase all Content and Settings.

Hi there. I have to "Erase all content and settings" to sell my phone, but can't see anywhere that this also deletes voice memos and notes. I have gone through and manually deleted them (including deleting them from the "deleted" folders), but I just want to ensure that after the "Erase all content and settings" has been pushed, they can not be recovered at all. From reading online I can see that photos, messages, credit card data etc., all gets deleted, but can see no mention of voice memos and notes. I want to ensure they are entirely deleted and not (at all) recoverable. Thank you.

Thank you for this prompt reply. And just to confirm, once my iphone is at the "hello" screen, I have been successful in deleting everything? That's a kind of confirmation/reassurance it is wiped, yes?

Apologies and thank you for being patient. This is my first iphone and I have found this quite a nervous experience to ensure I clear it all.
