PS3 Will I lose CFW and other important things if I Quick Format a hacked PS3?

I was installing some games on my PS3 with Evilnat when I noticed something weird with the free space and my OCD kicked in hard.
Basically, I checked the entire size of the things already in hdd000 which was 81gb and in the XMB options, it says I have 49 free out of 149 which makes me wonder... there's some junk or leftover files taking 20gb of size which is a lot and I can't find said files so I thought I might as well just do a quick format, it's not like I'm too attached to the games... but since having CFW allows me to install packages, I was wondering if Evilnat itself will be fine after a quick format.

As long as you use a CFW PUP to reinstall everything, the exploit should be present and CFW will install.

In any case, you can run BgToolset anytime in order to re apply the exploit and install CFW.

All good, after doing Quick Format I noticed there's STILL some 19gb being used somewhere, is this normal or are there leftover files somewhere?

You can use HDD Unlocker, there is a .pkg* on brewology store, just install it once and you'll get around ~8% more space on your drive.
