Hard reset - is also known as a Factory reset. It is complicated than soft reset, because it restores device to factory settings. It doesn't delete absolutely everything, but you should expect it will delete your data (photos, videos, documents, downloads etc.) and installed applications. So before hard reset, it is recommended to backup the data you don't want to lose. Depending on device, when trying to perform a hard reset, you should see the list of applications that will be deleted.
