[Q] Wiping everything on SD Card

Hi I would like to know if it's okay to delete everything on my SD Card and then flash a new ROM. I want to do this because there are a lotttttt of useless folders that belonged to some apps which I deleted. So is there any problem if I wipe everything on my SD Card? I will of course leave my ROM zip file in it to flash it. But is it okay tho? Thanks in advance!

If you had backedup your apps with titanium backup you lose it all. And when you format your sd-card you lose that Rom you're gonna flash.

Yeah dude its ok. When you flash the new rom it'll create a new android folder for all your system junk.

Does Titanium keep the backups in it's own folder, or in each apps' folder?
So could you wipe everything but the titanium folder, then restore apps that way?

In its own folder, just like cwm keeps your backups in one folder.

I need to clear up my SD card, so I'll delete everything bar that folder.

You can even restore the apps from within CWM Recovery!
Just make sure you create the appropriate .ZIP on Titanium Backup (Batch / Recovery Mode / Create "Update.zip" from app+data backups)
Cheers!

[Q] Titanium backup ISSUE

Hi,
i just flashed a new ROM and when i went to restore my apps and data from TB i realize that all numbers in the batch tab are 0!!!
First i had the backup in the external sdcard. I move them to the internal and nothing.
Any ideas?
I did the same in another note and everything went fine...

Did you search for and select the "Backup folder" in the settings of TB?
When switching to JB the mount points of the cards changed and so the old backup folder "moved". Check this.

dont use backup apps, they mess stuff up like this, crossinfect roms with junk and old versions and corrupt stuff. and then blame the rom, sheesh, good you dont do that.
Android should be build better with backups in mind, my 2cents

Hi,
I solved it. In the end it just was that TB for some reason loaded the user filter, so obviously the backed up app won't show

[Q] How to Remove CWM Old Backups

I have a rooted HTC One and when I rooted it I used to have CWM Recovery as my custom recovery. When I updated my ROM to 4.4 KitKat, CWM at the time didnt support KitKat so I switched to TWRP 2.6.3.3 which did. Thing is after doing a disk analysis of my phone, I found that the CWM backups are still on my phone and seeing as they're not compatible with TWRP plus their taking over 2GB in storage capacity, how do I get rid of them ?! I frequently make a nandroid backup of my phone in case of a worst case scenario but I would like back the storage capacity these CWM backups are taking !
P.S Using the app I used it said the CWM folder was in excess of 2.6GB so I clicked on delete but it said the folder doesnt exist ?! I'm assuming when I flashed TWRP that while CWM was uninstalled or whatnot, its backups still remained. Were are the backups located so I can manually via a PC delete them ?!
Can anyone please provide some assistance, Thanks

Go with ES File Explorer to "/" = device/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backups and delete from there.
To see those backups on your computer when the One is connected, you need to move the CWM backups from above path to "/" device/data/media/0
You might want to keep them!

I use CWM ROM Manager from the Play store to manage my backups.

or you can just plug your phone into your PC and from there you can access the storage and delete from there....easier with a mouse i think.

Thing is I downloaded it and CWM folder was empty, I then downloaded a root file explorer, I located it in the root section of the phone (i.e not the SD card) and it was over 2GB in size, I deleted it but the extra storage capacity was added to the phone stats

Was or was not? Sentence sounds like you meant was not because of the use of the word 'but'. Clarify please.

My apologies ! Before deleting the folder my phone had 17.01 GB (32GB Model) of free storage, after deleting the folder it was still the same. I even rebooted the phone so the phone stats could be refreshed but it was still the same

Weird. I did the same thing as you when installing ARHD 51.0 and I don't have that folder with anything in it. Prolly cuz I wasn't making backups of that in specific though. I never found something I couldn't delete...

Im also quite confused, I know I made CWM backups time to time but I was surprised the folder was empty when I checked in it

use a root-enabled file explorer (if you want ES, but root enabled), and go to /data/media/clockworkmod
not /data/media/0 or /sdcard, etc. just /data/media/

[Q] Titanium Backup doesn't work

I have rooted my device via Odin. Supersu works without any problems and Titanium Backup has all permissions. But now if I want to backup my data, it's not possible because Titanium Backup says "Titanium Backup has no access to the selected directory".. I tried to change the directory where the Backups are saved, but all the directory's are write protected... whats wrong ??
