I am looking for the equivalent of a reboot (no data loss).

Any thoughts?
removing all data would be a format or something.
a reset (either hard or soft) has nothing to do with removing any data.

a soft reset is rebooting a device the way its supposed to (more or less)

a hard reset is rebooting a device by physically removing its power source (like on a computer by pulling the power-cord or turning off the psu. or pulling the battery on a cellphone)
