Questions on how to do a complete, 100% wipe

There have been several threads about this in the past, but I couldn't find one which is actually up-to-date.

I have been flashing my N7000 for years now. I've been using several custom recovery menu's and ROMS and re-partitioned my internal storage as suggested here. I currently have the following installed on my phone:What I would like to do is perform a full, 100% wipe of my phone before re-flashing the same ROM I currently have installed, perhaps even update my recovery or whatnot in case my phone would benefit from it (suggestions are welcome).

The original instructions from the NightOwl thread mention the following when you want to manually update:

Quote:

1. Copy Rom to your sdcard.
2. Boot into recovery
3. Flash the Rom (in current versions you dont need to reflash the gapps)
4. Wipe dalvik-cache and format the /cache partition (This will not delete your apps or data)
5. Reboot
As mentioned these steps will not remove your apps or data. I understand that a "factory reset" does. However, I still wonder if this (including a factory reset) will actually wipe my phone 100% clean before flashing a new ROM.
