How to completly clean up my SD - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hi guys
I want to completly and safely clean up my mini's SD card from old apps' etc folders. I tried SD Maid (I'm rooted, on CM7) but it only automatically deletes several files, but not entire folders. Is there any app to do this for me?
Just look at my SD contents...more than half of these folders are from old applications
PS1: I dont want to format my SD
PS2: I also attach my internal memory, and please tell me if this is also a mess

Just delete the folders that you know are from old applications that you have already uninstalled..

connect phone to computer and delete files you want

Format it. Settings>Storage>Unmount SDcard. Then Click Format Sdcard and done!!!!

Upgrading SD Cards

G1: White (Like it makes a difference lol)
Recovery : RAs 1.3.2
Rom: MLIGN 3.0
SD: 8 gig class 2
Love MLIGN but obviously my sd is the only problem keeping my phone running smooth, so I am upgrading my SD to a class 6. Is there anything special that I need to do since my phone is already running MLIGN and RAs when I pop in the new sd? (i.e. partition?)
Thank you in advance!
you won't have apps on your ext unless you pull them on adb then push then onto the new card.

no because ext partition is linux, windows wont see the partition. i use paragon partition manager and just copy the partitions from my sd card

Is the right way popping in the sd card, partitioning it, then adding the apps?
If it wouldnt be to much to ask, can someone take me step by step, or advise if the above method in red will work.
Thank you in advance
Well you need an ext file browser
try extfs browser by paragon
open up the ext partition on the SD. Take the folders app, app_private, and put them on your computer
partition the card, plug it in, and copy over the folders back onto the new ext partition

[Q] Use internal storage as sdcard with CM7 ? ?

Hi,
I would like to know if it was possible to use internal storage as "main" sdcard with CM7, like it used to be in stock rom ?

Not sure if you can fully, when I booted into ClockwordMod without the SD card in it wouldn't flash the device because there was no SD card inserted. When you mount it on the PC you get the SD card and the internal memory separate, so I'm sure you can still put music on & all other sutff.
I know what you mean but I would use the internal storage as "main" storage, for exemple put pictures and games data on it, automatically, and access SD card through the "external_sd" folder.

umm i guess so,cos i myself did not change sdcard cos am using 8gb already
If you have any ROM Backups then you should copy xrecovery/backup to your new memory card and if you want the data files of your old apps back then you need to copy the Android folder to your new memory card........
solved.
tx!
I replaced it without problems.

On JB 4.1.2 you can't without root. In case you got root, use Folder Mount to move your game files to external SD card

If you mean without an app that needs root and will transfer you files to SDcard, the answer is nope

There is also Link2SD(Still requires root and to partition your sd..As it's more advanced you should not try it but keep it in mind )
I'd think the XSP's 5.4GB free memory should be enough for playing games. I got 100+ apps and am still on 2.3GB without Foldermount

to you I recommend using foldermount, because link2sd needs a serie of preparations before you can move your files. Foldermount only needs root acces and not an extra partition

Foldermount is the best way.Now if you want to swap internal with external you can do it using the script...
(I would recommend it since foldermount is more safe)

When you've moved your files, there should be a white or green pin right next to your game name. If it's white, tick it and it will mount the folder on sd card (and will turn green)

I think you've done something wrong. On my phone foldermount moves the file to sdcard leaving nothing on the internal memory
