Does a factory reset on a Galaxy Nexus wipe the virtual sd card directory? I'm looking into wiping my Galaxy Nexus, but I need to know whether or not a factory reset will also wipe the virtual SD card on the phone.  If it does, is there an alternative way to wipe without affecting the virtual SD card?

I'm running stock JellyBean 4.1.1, rooted.
A factory reset does indeed reset the virtual SD card on a Galaxy Nexus.

Okay, initially it appeared as if it wiped the virtual SD card, but it did not. After the media scanner did its magic, everything on the sd card (mostly) still remained there.

I did a factory reset by going to Android's Settings, then Backup &amp; Reset, and did the factory restore option. I did not wipe the device from recovery.
