Hard drive deletion (non-destructive !) ?

Query as per title...
Purchased a (refurbished) HP PRO GE 612 tablet for m'lady to use in hospital. Excellent cosmetic condition and plugged into mains and completed installation, including personal details. Once complete, I unplugged to check battery operation ... zilch, nada, rien and going back to mains power, the 'settings' give no battery indications whatsoever.
Messaged the vendor and commendably quick reply soggested return (at their cost) and replacement. However, I'm not at all happy to send off a hard drive with a great deal of my personal info on it.
Is there any way in which I can delete the installation ( sledgehammers excepted !)
TIA
