Does your phone seem messed up? Reformat My Storage!

Just trying to add a post to the forum now that it's considered "less active"

.
Since 2 or 3 days ago, my phone seemed to be acting up. It was freezing a lot, Titanium would load maybe 1 out of 3 times, and I often had to paper-clip reset 2 or 3 times before I could get my phone booted up. I even flashed a new ROM version thinking there was some sort of bug - no dice.
So, I backed everything up on My Storage and prepared for a super factory reset. I did notice that some files on the 8GB drive were corrupted, which seemed strange but I thought nothing of it. Then I hard reset and formatted MS. Guess what, all of my problems went away, phone is now back to normal. I doubted that My Storage had anything to do with the functioning of the phone on my device, but strangely enough, it did.

Yeah, i'm due for a full format too, i just hate putting everything back on (like 45 min just for music). And I always forget to back something up!

Yeah, I HATE the amount of time it takes to get my phone back the way I like it after a hard reset. Keeps me from trying other ROMs.

so what does reformatting just my storage delete? just settings and such?
