I'm running Calkulins rom with rom manager installed and I cannot see and recovery images under the manage section. Also, I can't delete the recovery images through Rogue recovery neither. I'm running out of storage! Please help...

Open your file explorer...go to clockwork mod/backups and delete from there
sent from the near past
And get rid of Rom Manager. It's crap.
I don't have any images in the directory you specified. I use rogue to make the images. Is there another way I can delete the images?

Are you looking in both the internal storage and on the actual sdcard? (Internal is mounted at sdcard, external mounts at sdcard/external_sd by default -- kinda confusing until you get used to it.)
Get rid of Rom manager ...no real use on our phones. It works well for others just doesn't seem to play nice with the sg2...download a like manager from the market...I like file expert...go to sd card( might say internal sd). Find the clockwork folder...open it....find backups..open it....these r ur backups.
If u put ur backups on ur sdcard it Will be under external sd....then clockwork. Help it helps

Durrrr! It was in external sd! Thanks so much for the help guys!

Hello all,
Just a question, hoping for an answer. Does anyone know what the download folder on your SD card is under the folder ClockworkMod is about? I was just wondering.. It takes up like 951 MB, is it all necessary? I'm guessing it all has to do with ClockworkMod, I just wish I could trim back, I need more space on this tiny 2GB.
Thanks!
Sorry if I posted under the wrong forum too.

Couple tips for you:
Copy your SD card to your PC so you'll have a backup if anything goes awry.
Then you'll have copies of what you may want/need later ~ above and beyond this evolution.
That said:
In ROM Manager, take a look at the option to Manage and Restore backups.
From there, you should see what's stored as backups. While this is not tied to the d/l folder, that's a place to do some housekeeping. Whack what you may not want/need.
Also in ROM Manager, press menu. You should see an option to clear download cache. That's where the d/l's you mention reside until cleared.
See if tidying up those gives you more room on your SD card. Don't forget to copy the entire contents to PC first. Not required, but a good practice so you can maintain an 'offline' copy of your SD card contents in case you ever need them.
The Roms you download from Rom manager remain under that directory of the SD card even after it finished installing. The nandroid backups are also there.

Just hit the menu key and clear download cache, that will erase all the download of roms in the clockwork download file.

Mine were on the SD card in the Clockwork folder or something very close to that.
Just use es file explorere and delete

should be external sd card / Clockworkmod / backups. in that folder is all the back ups you have created. you can also rename them as well.
i usually rename mine then copy them to my laptop, then cannot get myself to delete them, i am up to 50.1 gb of nandriods right now
As stated above they should be on your external sd, under clock work mod folder.
I love the 50 gigs worth of nandroids. Lol, it's like once you start chronically flashing roms, you get especially careful of not losing things. I had about 10 before I wiped useless nandroids. I'll be on the Hoarding show eventually.

the only reason i haven't had to delete any is because its a work laptop, no porn on it so plenty of room
Mine where in clockwork mod on sd. I have about 7 backups. I recommend that next time you nandroid, go to the folder and rename the backup so you know exactly what it Is. If you go into cw rom manager, you can designate where they are save. Don't recommend using rom manager for anything else but that

ill go search.. i didnt recall seeing the clockworkmod directory any place.. i used to see it when i would make backups using rom manager. but i made these in recorvery...

Just came across this and thought I'd add some things, some of which were already stated too I guess.
Backups will usually be on the external SD card/clockworkmod/backup then in folders named by international date and time (GMT by the way usually)
OR depending on your recovery it could put it in to a folder 'sdcard' on your external SD card (I've seen that too).
IF you are going to rename your backup folders you should rename 'to the back of the file folder name(s) with no spaces or special characters.
AND if you don't already you should verify you nandroids too. I use the freeware app Android File Verifier from the Play store [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.afv&hl=en ].
Few things are more fustratiing that starting a restore and having it fail - at the end. I too am an image freak on all my machines and always check my backup images.
Oh, and I can't re-iterate this enough DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!! You will surely end up with an expensive paperweight.
Do some searching and loads of reading and put on a 'safe recovery' for the Android version you are on - GB or ICS and you'll be OK
Good luck.
Hello,
So I connected my Note 2 to my pc, and noticed that there was a lot of space being taken up by Titanium Backup, so I cut/pasted the files somewhere else, but my computer did not show that any space had been freed up. So then I navigated to the CWM folder, and cut and paste the only backup I have from the phone to my pc, and now on my computer shows it taking up 0 space. But when I look at the folder in the phone itself, it says CWM is taking up 3.15gb. Any help is much appreciated. I've already changed the destination of Titanium back up to my SD card. Below is a link to the screen shot of the space CWM is taking up on my phone.

Are you taking the entire cwm folder or just the backup folder? Because the is a folder labeled blobs inside the cwm fold er. That's where all the space is taken up.

Weird, when I right click the whole cwm folder, it says it's taking up no space. Do you know for a way for the backup to go to my sd card instead of the phone drive?

I'm sure under the backup section on cwm there is an option for external. I would check but I use twrp

I think I'm going to flash twrp and then just delete the CWM folder all together from my phone. Thanks for your help!
I had the same exact problem and ended up uninstalling Titanium Backup and Rom Manager and now I'm using Rom Toolbox with TWRP. I was kind of attached to TB and RM (and CWM) since I've been using them for so many years, but RM got wonky and annoying, and I don't even want to talk about when I tried to upgrade to the touch version.
I am relatively new to this phone but not new to flashing. I was wondering if anyone knows why the phone doesn't find backed up Roms on my internal memory? When I search for the backup (restore from internal storage in clockwork mod) it says directory not found. I can see it (nandroids cm folder) when I go in as if to install a new ROM. When I want to restore a Nandroid there is no directory on the internal storage. Any help would be appreciated

Well because your on CM which is a 4.2 rom I'm sure and all your internal gets moved to the 0 folder. Your complete root directory was moved there when you went to a 4.2 rom. You have to re direct your app to the correct folder now.

What app? I tried to use to use ROM manage only to chance location or backup and there was no option. You are absolutely right. That's exactly what it moved to (0 folder). Tried to move folder it back to the internal SD but it didn't work that way. A little help please
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA
You can't move it as long as you want to stay on that type of rom. If you go back to 4.1.2 rom you can copy everything back and delete the new 0 folder. When I said app I'm referring to whatever your using Titanium backup, or Rom Manager... They have to have a way to redirect where to search for the files.

Yeah ROM manager has no option for that. I have titanium but I was looking along the lines or when I go into custom recovery and it says directory not found. As if my internal is blank. If I act like in want to install a ROM its all there again. So I'm in liquidsmooth and want to head back to WicSen. Should I install the WicSen rom move the Nandroid (to where) and then try to recover the backup? By the way thanks for all your help on this. Never had this problem before with the s2
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA
Easiest thing would be to try and copy not move it to the directory that custom recovery is looking for it. The only problem with this is that sometimes the nandroid get corrupted when copying over. In that case you will have to do a fresh flash.

Yes I have had files go corrupt on previous phones by doing that. Unfortunately, the file the phone does recognize Nandroids in is on my ext SD card and it doesnt have enough room. I guess I will have to just figure something else out. Thanks again

i installed a game called contract killer 2 and when i uninstalled it, i noticed that it didn't delete the game data but when i try to delete the folder for the data, it says it deleted but i still see it and i went into that folder and i see three files that are blank, no file names at all...one of them says that it's taking up 2gb but i try to delete it and it's still there. i even tried with adb as root with no luck, does anybody know what's going on? i included a screenshot so you can see what i'm talking about. it makes no sense, LOL if anybody knows how to fix this, that would be awesome! thanks in advance for the help!
Copy your files you want (such as backups/nandroids, photos and music) on the internal storage to your computer, boot into recovery and wipe internal SD card.
In cwm: its under mounts and storage
In twrp: select wipe, then advanced wipe and wiping the internal SD card should be an option
Once you reboot copy all of your files back to the device...then reboot the device once again and everything should be back to normal...minus the unwanted file/files
