Hey guys.. I have flashed a few roms to my Raider now, but my internal SD is a mess - lots of old left-over install folders, leftover app bits..etc. When I'm in CWM Recovery, I found an option to format the internal SD card. My question is this: What will that wipe? Everything?? Does it wipe out my CWM and the installed ROM as well?? I'm scared to try it, bc I don't want to brick my phone. I'm not real familiar with pushing files to the SD card thru ADB (actually I just know its possible, no idea what the commands are) so I don't want to have to go that route, but I'd REALLY like to wipe my internal storage and clean it up.
Ideas?
I recommend going into your settings when your booted into android. So long as you have no apps installed to the I.internal sd card you are safe to format.

i would not use the CWM option to do that, it is a port and not fully supported and i know on some other devices (not sure about vivid) but that would soft brick the device
I always use the windows format and change the allocation size while I'm at it. Just backup what you need and copy it over when you are done. Since there are a lot of leftover bits I'd recommend not doing a quick format. The method in which you format probably doesn't matter but I like working from the computer when it comes to this stuff.

And formatting the *internal* storage from USB storage mode in Windows won't clear out my HoliRaider ROM? I just don't wanna brick my phone its running awesome now thanks to bananacakes.

No, the rom is installed on its own partition. I've formatted with no issues after I rooted and debloated my phone

Will Factory wipe data in recovery help? i want to completely erase all folders and data files...
If you check the format usb thing in privacy it will wipe your internal sdcard.

This happens when external SD is there.Try removing the SD card and check whether pictures r still there.
Also the gmail account sync with Picassa n pull in pictures from there.check that too.
Thank u Dr.Ketan ,it did work indeed! but the external_SD folder still carries my previous downloads?? This external_SD folder points to files of my external sd card right? how can i format files in this? Thank u.
Yes i said, you have to flash ext card with setting-storage
N select flash sd card
Or
u can format with pc like this( i recommend this)
keep usb debbuging on
Connect device, select connect to pc from notification
You will find separate drive letter for ext mory card
Rt click on drive letter n format

I flashed the Holic room just yesterday and none of my media are showing up. I've posted this issue in many thread but none has answered me yet. How do I fix this? Please help me! Thank you!
I never had that problem with holics...
Is your sdcard mounted...
Did you clear cache on media storage...
Did your sdcard take a crap...
Did you wipe properly when you flashed?

I didn't mount my sd card. It is working perfectly. I just did a factory reset. Still doesn't work.

Hi guys, how do I factory reset my HTC 802t? I've tried the delete all of cwm6.0.3.2 and the one in HTC's settings, both didn't delete the folder /0/ in which everything is stored , maybe the custom Rom too, not sure. Any suggestions? The factory reset in the bootloader sends me to cwm.
I'd like to delete it because there are 20+ gb of "other" and I don't know what they are and start anew.

in CWM go to mounts and storage, the use the "format data/ and data/media (sdcard)" option
youll loose all your apps to so make sure you have backups stored on your pc/laptop

You probably went from a 4.1 ROM to a 4.2+.
The file structure changed. Using a root enabled file explorer check "leftovers" in /data/media
all your files in 4.2+ are in /data/media/0
