Yo! if really you want to format your phone, all you need to do is to restore factory settings. you can do this from the settings of your phone.
NOTE: restoring factory settings puts your phone in the mode it came from the factory. everything on the phone memory gets deleted, so think well.

If you encounter full phone memory,

* just go to settings and locate reset settings,if ask for the code, the default code is 0000.and everything will go back to its original default settings.

good luck.
