Are pictures in the cloud saved after a reset

[AC Question]

I got a replacement Samsung s5. The verizon store transfered all pics, contacts etc., to the new phone. I got home & realized they didnt delete any pics, contacts, msgs., etc frm old phone. I want to encrypt the old phone & factory reset it. When I factory reset it will my pictures, contacts, etc., still be in the verizon cloud or do they get deleted?

Anything in the cloud will remain intact. Resetting the device doesn't affect anything in the cloud. The cloud is Account Based not Device Based.

That last line puts it well.
