The function: "Erase All" - note, you do not have to try it, it does exactly what it says.

Touchscreen Kindles are all "dual boot" (except KOA2, which is its own type of funky), like having both WinXP and Win10 on the same PC with a choice of which to boot.
In the case of the Kindles, they are called: "main" and "diags" (named for their purpose).

Directions and download here:

The two files needed are:
diag-uImage
diagsys.bin
And none other (some of the others contain personalized information for owner and device and should never become public).
