I need to know this fast I'm about to hard reset my HP Pavilion g6 because the IDT Audio and wireless connection button aren't working. Will this delete all my memory? *I have a lot of pictures and programs*

No it will not....hard reset is simply hold down power button 30 seconds with no power supply attached. It is not the same as a cell phone reset.

I am betting you did a factory reset or a Windows reset and not a hard reset. "Reset" has taken on some new meanings since 2012. Hard reset does not impact the hard drive at all so no way it could have deleted any data.
