I have hard reset my phone and i have lost the list of apps on my sd card in the storage sense app. I soft resetted my phone and hasnt worked.
I often do a hard reset and the apps are still there I am using windows phone 10 insider.
Yes the appx files stay as I do a backup. I just hard resettled again and the apps were there i think there was a bug in the storage sense app. All fixed now.That's not possible. By apps if you mean the actually appx files then yes they would survive a hard reset. Or if you restore from backup during the setup then they'll automatically reinstall.
