What will a soft reset on an iPhone 5 do? - 1

My messages are messing up (not going through, saying they don't go through but really do, etc.), so I think I need to do a soft reset on my iPhone 5. Will this delete my pictures, apps, contacts, and messages, etc?

Unless you have connected your phone to the computer and backed it up, if you reset your phone it will delete everything.
