I have successfully removed Windows 10 with following steps:

• set intel rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (Linux PC ) or install USB drivers (Windows PC – not tested)

# Intel vendor ID for ADB SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”8087″, MODE=”0666″ #intel vendor ID for SOC device SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”8086″, MODE=”0666″ (note perhaps only 8087 is needed)

• install adb (Android SDK) or sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot (Linux Ubuntu – have not tried)
• download Intel® Platform Flash Tool Lite for Linux (or Windows) https://software.intel.com/en-us/installing-firmware-with-flash-tool-linux
• boot to Android, enable Developer settings (clicking ‘Settings -> About tablet -> Build number’ several times) and USB Debugging (‘Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging’)
• connect USB to tablet, let USB debugging to activate
• Go to bootloader – issue on your PC from command line ‘adb reboot bootloader’
• Start Intel® Platform Flash Tool Lite (on Linux PC start with command ‘platformflashtool’ or launcher Icon, on Windows start with launcher Icon)
• select ‘flash.json’ from Android only firmware (do not forget to change the gpt.bin before), configuration ‘blank’ (is automatically selected, no need to change)
• flash, after flash it will reboot, wait till Android starts (there is only Android to select during boot)
• switch language (to English) if needed
• free storage is 25 GB now (thanks to omid)

After that I have installed TWRP (http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377298-recovery-twrp-302-0-for-cube-iwork8-ultimate-iwork8-air/) and dm-verify and root (http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/377299-howto-disable-dm-verity-root-navigation-bar-mod-for-cube-iwork8-ultimate-iwork8-air/) by KonstaT (thanks)

The above worked great. However, I had to shorten the path of where the flash files are stored for it to work.

Thanks!
