There is no personal data on your Q box @MitsyToots .
Only your recording history.
However you can carry out a factory reset in the Q box hidden menu.
To enter hidden menu press Home and navigate down to Settings but do not select Settings.
With Settings highlighted press 0 0 1 Select.
Carry out the Factory reset.

When you say there is no personal data, I presume you are overlooking all the streaming passwords for services like netflix, prime, disney, etc?
