ive done back up with both amon_ra and clockwork... i found the nand. folder to delete back ups.. and found the clockwork folder but cant find where to delete back ups?
I don't know from experience, but I believe someone said that the ClockworkMod backups were in the "backups" folder inside the Clockwork folder on your SD card. I don't know if the file structure is the same. For Amon Ra, you open the nandroid folder and inside there is a folder with your serial number. You should only have one folder unless you have backups from multiple phones. The individual backups are in individual folders in there, named by date. I move all but the most recent to my computer & delete them. If you're specifically using Amon Ra now, you can probably just delete the entire Clockwork folder. Of course if you want to save them then move them to your computer.

You can use root explorer (paid) or estrongs file explorer(free)
You can't delete them from recovery.
Edit: Well you can if you mount the card through usb while in recovery. Then you could delete it from your computer.

I know how to delete old backups of clockwork, but how the hetch do you delete old backups on amon, i don't see amon on my sdcard like how clockwork is, do i have to actually go into amon and delete while in recovery or what.
Look on the root of your sd card for the nandroid folder. Open the subfolder and all your backups are there. This can also be done with any file manager program such as Astro.

yeah i just found it, was doing a search and came across that, lol, see search does work, and people don't think it does, lol.
thanks though.
Look in /sdcard/nadroid/HT##CCC#####
For example, my latest backup is /sdcard/nandroid/ht06AHL05422/BCDS-2010926-2318
Who sets up the naming convention of these backups anyway?

i did learn one thing, if you actually name a backup, say "fresh 3.3" and it's the only backup you have and you have to do a nandroid, well it won't restore, for some reason they must be saved as a date or else you have to dismount the sdcard, rename the file to look like it's a date instead of a actual name, i ran into this once, was freaking out, lol.
So I tried renaming my backups on pc, since rom manager would always mess up when trying that method. Both ways I get a "m5 sum incorrect " or something like that!
Any ideas, sometimes I have so many backups its hard to tell what's what
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
ROM Manager will let you name your backups. Only thing I can think of.
how do you use rom manager to rename them i renamed them all with ES File Explorer and now all my backups get that m5 sum incorrect thing
Already tried rom manager to rename, if I try and restore I get the "sum "error

I used to have this problem. What I currently do, is as follows, using Amon_RA 2.2.1 Located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
I use the recovery nandroid backup. When I do this it creates a folder under /sdcard/nandroid/...... where ...... is the folder nandroid will create upon your first backup. From there all your future backups will go into that folder, it will be something goofy, the folder for me is Ht096Hl01177 (path looks like this: /sdcard/nandroid/HT096H101177/New Backup, rename this folder, not the HT one), within that folder will be your actual backup. Create the nandroid backup, I use ROOT EXPLORER (Paid but worth it since you can do mounted deletes), to rename the newley created backup, do not change the parent folder. Then when I want to restore to that one, I make sure I do a full wipe including Dalvick Cache. Using this process I don't hardly ever get the m5sum error. Hope that helps. I currently have 4 backups under the parent directory and I can restore them fine as long as I wipe first.
The easiest and cheapest way is by opening rom manager and scroll down to where it says backup/restore and on the backup you want to rename you hold it and then it will give you options like delete etc...chose rename and rename it example MikFroyo_1-24-2011 when you space make sure you _ for spaces and you should not get an error I segest you make a backup and use that to test it you can also rename it by clicking back up restore within rom manager and press back and rename it like showed in the example hopes this helps I have tested both with no problems what so ever

I always rename mine with no issues...so far. I just leave all the numbers then start at the end like this. 2010-11-20.07.24.51 then I add -MYN-01-HB-76. Dont know if this will work for everyone. I just didnt want to mess with the file name too much
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
The key thing to know about renaming nandroids is that you have to be sure to leave no spaces in the names...
You can name it CM6.Jan25 but not CM6 Jan 25
You do not need to save the given name of it, I assure you.
....this is true whether you rename with rom manager, root explorer or estrongs ..... that is all you need to be concerned with, as long as you do that you should be fine....

When I back up my rom, it saves to the sdcard right...Well where is it? I need to copy my latest one to my pc. THANKS!
In a folder called nandroid. At least, that's where RA puts it. Dunno about Clockwork.

If you use Amon Ra recovery, on your Sd card, you will find a folder called 'nandroid'. That is where all of your nandroiid backups will be.
If you use clockwork recovery, you'll have a folder on your sd card called 'clockworkmod'. From within that folder, I believe there is a sub-folder called 'backups'. That's where they'll be! Depending on which recovery you used to create the backups.

If your recovery is amon RA, there should be a folder titled "nandroid" on the root of yur SD card. Inside of that folder should be another folder with a title that consists of letters and numbers. Your nandroid(s) are contained inside. ClockwordMod backups *should* be kept in a folder bearing the Clockworkmod name.
Do you have a 'nandroid' folder?
I'm using Amon, not sure if it's handled any differently with Clockwork - if that's even what you're on - but you should be able to find it.

Go into nandroid folder then into the next folder H something, in that folder will be all your nands named by date. Just delete which ever ones you don't need either via some root explorer app or Pc usb.

I have just recently rooted my intl' S3. I also did a nandroid backup to the phone twice and its taking up quite a bit of space. I have tried to locate the nandroid folder from what you posted and cannot find the nandroid folder. I am using astro folder right now but maybe switching to my file app later if this does not work. thanks in advance!

The folder should be named whatever recovery you are using. If you're using ClockworkMod, it may say 'clockworkmod' or 'cwm'. If you're using TWRP recovery, it should say 'twrp'. The backup files will be in that folder.

Fln is correct, in that it'll be named whatever recovery you're using. Probably cwm, listed under clockworkmod, unless you explicitly changed to twrp. Just make sure you look on the device sdcard for the backups.

thanks but I still cannot find the back up. I have used the samsung tool kit to create the nandroid back ups but now I dont know how to find it to delete. in the toolkit it does not provide an option to delete back ups from the phone unless I maybe misunderstanding the option available. i have installed rom manager and there i can create nandroid backups by going into the recovery page. I cannot flash roms because of the space limitations. I want to delete these back ups on the phone and just leave it on the computer so that i can start flashing roms thru rom manager.
I do not have an external SD card because its still in the mail. Thanks for all your help!

I just went into the CWM recovery mode and located the 2 nandroid backups I created but still could not delete any of them. All my file explorers does not have any nandroid folders and the CWM folder is still empty. Am I missing a particular setting that is not allowing me to see the backups?

What file explorer are you using? I prefer es file explorer [free], make sure you set the root settings to r/w, for giggles. It should be listed as internal sd card or sdcard01, probably the prior; I forget what its called on tw. Just verify for clockworkmod folder, and should list your device id, and the backups inside.

You are the MAN teh roxxorz, adjusted the root settings for es file explorer and was able to free up 4gb of space (nandroid BU) Thank you so much! Now I do not have to unroot, do a factory wipe just to delete excess backups!!
I have few useless backups that just take up my free space and I want to removed them, but I can't find clockworkmod folder on sdcard anymore, but it used to be there. Also when I load up recovery and go to restore, I can clearly see all backups I have made. How can I make clockworkdmod folder visible?

I haven't used clockworkmod in a while, but I believe you should be able to delete the backups from within recovery! For sure that's how i do it in TWRP.
/data/media/clockworkmod
Use a root Explorer like ES explorer, and check in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
You might find a few old backups.
This usually happens if you change recoveries.
