Formatting will delete everything, you can format then recopy
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will erase everything after the format has been done. But also yes you can recopy everything if you still have them on your phone, just be careful with what you’re copying from the phone, if only one file has a virus than you gonna be still getting the same message for the usb that needs to be formated.
