According to the info below, i think the current size is 256 right? If I
format the storage partition, will that automatically clear all the
contents from the storage or do I need to clean something else as well?

Output from xfs_info:
meta-data=/dev/sda3              isize=256    agcount=4, agsize=13309312
blks
         =                       sectsz=512   attr=2
data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=53237248, imaxpct=25
