Do I lose all my downloads and saved pictures if I "clear all data" on Google Play Services?

It's using too much internal memory so I need to see if clearing data will help, but I don't want to lose downloaded songs and pics/movies saved on internal storage space. I would like to know what "data" exactly Google Play Services will clear.

The only thing that would be erased would be things like search history from Google Search, Google Now and Chrome. Maybe Google Launcher setiings.

Thanks for your prompt reply!! So I won't lose things like phone contacts stored locally?

No, you'll won't lose anything important.
Go to applications and click on Google Play Services. Under storage, you should be able to clear data.

Bad idea. Always store your contacts to Google. (If your phone gets run over by a truck, the driver can buy you a new phone, but you still have to enter all the contacts by hand. If they're Google contacts, they're restored, as long as you sync them.)
