    You can restore your settings if you have a backup, but you will be able to reinstall your apps. When you erase your phone from Find my iPhone, everything is erased.

     

    Note that you don't need Find my iPhone to erase your phone if you didn't lose it. Open Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, and it will be erased
