Is it possible to format my ipod and still have the games that were on it stay on it?

I have lots of things I need to get rid of on my ipod...Mostly used up space that I thought I downloaded music on..When I first checked out my ipod it already had 3 games on it..I started playing them and would like to save them with getting rid of them..If I format, will it clear them off or keep it as I got it..

    Yes, it is possible.

    First, sync your iPod in iTunes and make sure all the games/applications get synced to iTunes. This means they got saved in your computer.

    Next, go ahead and reformat (restore) your iPod.

    Once that is done, sync your iPod again. The games should be reinstalled. If not, go into your iPod settings tabs and make sure the games have check marks next to them then sync again.

    Good luck!

    Just save them to your computer and when you re-format you can re-connect your ipod to the computer and save them on there again.
