The scope of the two procedures is not the same. Wiping the Free Space wipes just the free space on your Android device. Doing a Factory Reset impacts the data on the entire device. So, unlike doing a Factory Reset, wiping free space does not impact any of the apps or data that are also on your phone. In addition, whereas wiping the free space overwrites the data on your device, doing a Factory Reset just moves all the data into your free space.

That depends on what’s on your phone. But, consider this. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that you’ve got some data on your phone that could be useful to a hacker.
