Replace the word format with the word reflash, because not only does the process wipe data and set up how data is stored, it writes the boot mechanism as well. A full reflash also rewrites the whole directory system, i.e. has effect of wiping all directories, including user data from the FAT partition (aka MyDocs or "N900" in default file manager).

I edit my original question: where in the Wiki page linked-to are you struggling?
