There are many ways, but the most simple way is to connect your phone to your computer, and turn on USB storage. Then browse the contents of your SD card: (windows) computer > SD card > clockworkmod > backup > SELECT the backups you want to delete and delete them. Done.

Installed Mosiac on friends phone, and in contacts theres no option to export to sd card, so im unable to synce her contacts with google, I googled problem and got something about .vcf file or something. I imported them from sim to phone but theres no ooption to export to sd like on my phone.
Go to Dialer> Contacts> Menu> "Import/Export" > "Export to SD card"
Of course I'm not running Mosaic, so mine is probably a different dialer.

Theres no option to select Export to SD, Theres one on my samsung infuse and another friends captivate running mosaic, but her's dont have it
Maybe you can try installing the contacts app in the sgs tools.
Thanks guys figured it out, I guess phone had to have an external sd in it, thought you could put them on phones sd, but as soon as I put my external sd in her phone the option showed up, then I was able to sync them to google from there. Thanks again

What phone do you pick so i can make a back up .. the lg revolution isnt on there?? Does the other lg phone on the list work the same??
Rom Manager doesn't work with the revo as far as I know
O ok ... well thanks for the fast reply lol good thing i didnt buy it i woulda been mad ha
So should i just use titanium back up?? Is that good?
I only use ROM Toolbox. I will defer to others who have used Titanium on that question.
I use the app manager in ROM Toolbox to backup apps.
Is the only way to make a complete system/rom backup in cwm ?? And if so were does it save so i can delete old ones and keep them fresh back ups
What exactly are you trying to do?
I want to make a backup that i can find thru a file manager so i can save it to my laptop for back up ... but i dont wana jus back up an app or two i need everything a complete system backup
Cwm will do that. My backups are saved to my sd card.

I'll also confirm that CWM is best for a full backup image. I use Titanium Backup to backup my data and apps. It works great for that purpose.

.img and md5. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps and stuff use CWM to do a full backup of everything.
I ment folder not file sorry ...
What folder are the back ups saved in . And are you able to rename them? So its not just the date and time?
I have not tried it, but you should be able to rename the folder with Root Explorer. They save in the following location:
/mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup

I have a folder "clockworkmod" on my sd that my backups are saved to.
So when I open the "external sd" through a file explorer, "clockworkmod" is a folder with my backups in there. From there I hookup to my pc and transfer what I want saved.

I have a rooted Captivate so I don't want to accidentally delete something important. Is there an easy way to clean the content of both cards?

any file manager will do. if you browse folder by folder and only delete files you recognize as no longer needed, that is safest.
you might try SD Maid by XDA developer Darken. you can find it on google play, or in the Android apps forum on xda. you can scrub app data, find corpses, etc.
there are some apps that use the sdcard and if you wipe your internal sd card, they may stop working.
assuming you are running GB or later OS : if you go to settings, apps menu and select the sdcard tab, you can see which apps are on the internal sdcard and move them back to internal storage, if desired. you can also look at details of each app and see which ones store data on the sd.

SD maid is a pretty cool app. Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to clean up my Captivate.
Hi
I have the Samsung galaxy S Advance (DULP8) and I want to root it. I followed the steps to root but when i copy the root.zip into my external memory card and then go try to flash that via stock recovery(update via external storage ) i don't see it ? in fact there is stuff that dosent belong to me like some song folders and such
I even tried copying the file in internal and external still no luck . I had the device earlier and it was running gingerbread then it got messed up and i sent to Samsung to repair they repaired it and returned with jellybean 4.1.2 installed :highfive:
I don't know what to do i am so frustrated and cofused about where the hell does the folders come from which i have no clue about ?
Also in the storage in settings there is three tabs
1.Device memory
2.Internal Storage
3.Sdcard
When i select update from external storage in recovery it dosent even go to my external sd ?
From recovery choose "install zip from external sdcard" don't use update.

Is there install? Or apply update from external storage?
Ok, I did not use stock recovery for a long time - I do not remember what is exacly. If you do not see anything from "update from external storage" you will need to REPARTITION your SD card. This is not formating, this is erasing partition and creating it again. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
You will lose data from it, so I suggest you to backup it to a computer.
Sometimes you pasted your zip on a folder that is down below than those that stock recovery displays
So what you have to do is: go to your file explorer (personally I use ES file explorer) and enable display of hidden files, then some folders with . will appear so try pasting the zip on one of those folders
If stock recovery doesn't show anything when apply updates is pressed, then you'll have to do what shut_down said
Stock Recovery does show things in External storage

You need to put root.zip on EXTERNAL SD. It is not shown in INTERNAL.
This might work but first you need to backup all your data: from ext-sd and from usb storage.
Then factory reset you phone. After that format your ext-sd with sistem file "FAT32" . When done with that put only the "root.zip" on the sd.
After all above is done try to install the root file with stock recovery.
P.S If this doesn't work you might be stuck on the stock JB for a long time.

With Windows have system restore point for system settings and installed programs, not for storage... I don't know other way to save data from erased sd card.

A window program named GetDataBack is useful for you in this case.

Something wrong with your keyboard??? There are lots of missing letters/incomplete words.
LOL! Nothing wrong with the keyboard buddy . Just not typing Xtra letters as one can easily pronounce the words. Anyway, used to typing in short to save time.
