If I soft reset my phone will it delete my pictures I have saved to the phone?
Hi, doing SOFT reset is different with HARD reset. Soft reset is safe to do anytime, because it is the same procedure with shutdown/turn off and turn on again, the soft reset will not remove or delete any important data or pictures or applications at your Nokia Lumia 520.
But this is different with HARD RESET, you should backup all important data to other location or external memory before doing hard reset, because all important data will be remove or wipe from your phone.
