Hi, rather basic question here. But I have CWM 6.0.4.3 recovery and I make an occasional nandroid backups with it. But I couldn't seem to locate where these backups are stored and how to clean them out.
Everything usually goes to the "SD" card at /storage/emulated/0. But I looked under "clockworkmod", "Android", etc. Could not find where these backups are hidden. CWM does not have the option to delete these backups so eventually I just end up with alot and I worry about running out of space whereever its being stored.
Edit: Solved. Its in data/media/clockworkmod/backup, but need a root file manager to see browse to that directory.
Try this to locate it
Data/media/clockworkmod/backup

You can also delete them from recovery

I have nothing under the /storage/emulated/0/data folder.
Couldn't find it even with the DiskUsage app.
In CWM recover, its supposed to be under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, but I cannot find that directory at all.
It doesnt save them to the SD Card. As mentioned above, starting from the root directory, look in data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
"/data" is empty for me.
But I know that I have at least 3-4 nandroid backups in there and I've even restored too. So I know that they do exist.

What version of Android are you running?

And you should have stuff in the data folder wether you have backups or not. There should be system files in there as well. I have a feeling you are looking in the wrong data folder.
So I'm running android 4.3.1 (vanir).
Little confused, there are 2 "data" directories:
/data is empty
/storage/emulated/0/data has 2 folders: colornote and TitaniumBackup. But even in this folder, there really isn't much, the titaniumbackup folder is also empty.
Can you post a screenshot of the directory you are looking in? The data folder you say is empty. It should have a lot of system folders in there. You saying its empty is confusing.

+1, the Delete option should be under Backup & Restore in CWM.

You may need a root browser to see the files

Screenshots posted of the 2 directories in question.
I did find the delete backup option in CWM so thanks for that. But I was also hoping to be able copy off these backups to a safe location on my desktop.
