Hi guys, I've got a question. How I can delete all files from internal memory? I did it in the past but now I don't remember how I did it. Will CWM do it or maybe factory reset? If it clean my apps it can do because later I will flash a new rom. But it mustn't delete my CFW and root because I need these things. Thanks in advance.
Cwm:
Mount storage
Format sdcard

Hi all...
I was doing a back-up today when i saw that I Only had about 600mb free space on the internal SD-card.
My question is:
Can i wipe the Internal sd-card without loosing CWR ?
Because afterwards I need to to a nandroid restore.

Yes you van wipe it. Cwm aint in the internal Sd as far as i know. And your android backup should be located on your external sd

actually what is wipe ??? and how to do it???

It seem CWM full wipe isnt enough, it left the data in sdcard and root. How to "clean' up totally and safely. If possible I dont want to mess with the repartitioning maybe some full format would be nice. Any guide from experienced user...thanks

If you are on safe kernel you can wipe/format sd card by following these two methods :-
Go to Settings>Storage>Format SD Card (Internal)
oR
Reboot in CWM Recovery
Go To Mount & Storage
Format SD Card (Internal)
Hope it helps
Cheers!!!

this will full wipe
*2767*3855#
recommended only if you are on GB OR ICS with safe kernel.
Root will not still remove, you need to reflash Stock ROM(recommended GB) with PC odin to unroot.
on cwm and safe kernel.
Take out out external sd card
wipe factory, cache and dalvik
Then in mounts format everything except efs. Phone wont boot but will boot recovery and download mode.
Put external back in and install zip, or pc odin your prefered way. With regular pitfile if switching GB or ICS.
Cleanest way possible to my knowledge.
When not switching and on safe kernel dr ketans way is the way.

I cant boot my note for unknown reason. Anyway i decided to do a full wipe and a clean install of KD rom.
My question is if i do a full wipe, will the titanium backup folder in my internal storage be wiped as well? Cuz my backups are in there.

Why not play safe and just backup/copy the titanium folder on the external memory?
It is too late to do tht now as i cant boot my phone to access my internal storage.

Usually a normal full wipe is just clearing user data and apps, however usb storage is untouched, unless you specifically did format USB. If you store TB backup in internal and you didn't format usb, then it's most likely still there.
Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and data, it won't erase USB(int)storage or external storage.
But You should do this only you are on safe kernel.
Though you dont need to do it, but just for acknowledgment you can use Aroma explorer from recovery and can copy folder from Internal SD card to Ext SD card
Problem had been solved. Thanks guys

So I'll boot into Safestrap recovery and I can install ROMs, wipe cache, all that, except I can't wipe internal memory. It just says something along the lines of 'can't find volume'. Anyone got a fix for this?:crying:

im sure theres an option for that in the actual memory settings on the phone. or you can mount the internal and external sd and just format on the computer
It is best by using root explorers. Root into your internel memory and wipe unwanted datas easily ...

Hi,
I'm using a HTC one, which is rooted, s-on, unlocked. I'm also using maximus hd 13 rom.
I want to completely reset the content on the internal sd card. I already tried to format the card via cwm wipe and during aroma installer using full wipe. But afterwards my sd card is still not clean, all the stuff from before is still there.
How can I get rid of those sd card content?
thanks in advance,
Chris
Well I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually use TWRP and what I do is install the Rom I want...then format the sd card in recovery and reboot. It's that simple..at least for me. Now for cwm I think there's the option for to format sd..not just wipe..but I can't remember the setup off hand...I'm thinking the process would be exactly the same

Hi,
I've installed maximus 13 an hour ago, doing all wipes I found
I also use the factory reset in the android settings.
At the moment I'm looking for format options in cwm and I found the following in "mounts and storage menu":
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- format /external_sd
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
should I try these options? If yes, all of them? In which order?
I can't imagine that it could be so difficult to get your sd card clean

okay, I've done so and it looks good. Do I have to reflash the maximus rom now or is it possible just to reboot the phone and everything will work fine?

Just reboot. U should now have a clean storage.
The others (system and data) would wipe your Rom and user apps.
