Will a cwm data wipe, wipe my internal storage?

If you're referring to wiping cache, dalvik cache, or factory reset, then no. However, there are specific options to format the internal storage, and obviously, those will wipe the internal storage.

This has not been asked in the 2012 N7 forums before apparently. If a factory reset wipes /data partition and cache partitions, would it also clear the internal storage located at /data/media? I've seen some people reporting CWM makes sure not to touch anything on other devices, but I haven't heard anything about TWRP on a Nexus 7.
Nah, it doesnt, in 2.6.0.0 there is advanced wipe option and there you must choose "internal sd"... "data, cache and dalvik cache" is only a factory reset, you lose your apps only

So basically, if I were to select Wipe, then Factory Reset, internal SD is left intact unless I do an advanced wipe? Or the other way around, I have to do an advanced wipe to keep the internal SD card?
Alright, just updated TWRP, see what you mean. Thanks!
Hi, I'm on PA 3.99 rom and I'd like to install Purity Rom, but it's required a full wipe. My recovery is TWRP, so for a full wipe I need to wipe cache, dalvink cache, system and factory, right? Internal and External card isn't necessary, right? Because It will erase the Purity zip in my memory and I won't be able to installed. If possible I'd like a clear response, so I'd finally understand what to do exactly with no more worries.

That's correct, cache, dalvik cache, data and system. Your external sd and internal sd should be untouched.

A factory reset in recovery wipes /cache and /data ... the dalvik cache resides on the data partition and is thusly wiped also.
You could wipe /system to be "thorough" ... but the Rom zip.should have a format /system line in the updater script.
I only ever do a factory reset between roms.
Thank you very much, it's what I wanted to hear! (Never understood if wipe factory was even wipe data ahah XD)

Oh ok!! Now I get it! Really appreciate everyone answer! (Sorry for my English, lately I haven't been using it very much!)
Recently, before I flashed PA, I did a back up of my internal storage, namely WhatsApp files and pictures and it took a while. Proceeded to factory reset, clear cache and format system in CWM recovery. Factory reset and clearing cache got stuck but I did manage to format system and flash the rom and get it to boot.
My question is, for future reference, what options formats the internal storage? Wipe data? Factory reset? Saves a lot of time having to do a backup of the internal storage.
Thanks!

i tried to format internal sd card and it wouldnt let me. im guess its not possible?
Unfortunately, we can't use the FORMAT function in safestrap!!!....to clean wipe you can...go into Wipe then do Factory Data reset and then go to Advanced Wipe and wipe System/data/cache/dalvik cache...thats enough!!!
But if you want to completely wipe the phone...follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
can i install new custom rom without wiping the internal storage??
You don't have to wipe internal storage for that. Just wipe Dalvik, Data, System and Cache.

Does it affect warranty?
