if you do not understand how to reset it simply configure it to a different pool/address.
say
solo.ckpool
a btc address
a pass word
if you remove yours and put in the info above they can’t know where you mined

I am selling my bitcoin miner. Is there anything I need to do for security purposes to protect myself before selling it?
I don't think there is anyway the buyer could access my wallet from it. But any thoughts about anything I may not be thinking of would be appreciated.

If the miner is getting it's Internet via a WiFi connection, you should reset that at least. Or have the device reset to factory settings. Otherwise there is no need to do much. If you leave your wallet address in the config, all that could be done is to look into the balance.
Make the buyers life easy by resetting it to factory settings, so he gets a fresh device.
Any chance you know how to factory reset a futurebit Apollo miner? I don't see anything in settings or a button to push on the miner itself.
It's set up using a Linux OS from the factory.
Would BleachBit work the same?
From what I read is that you just rewrite the SD-Card, but I don't own that miner. You may be better off looking for a proper user manual.
