.... use any file manager from the Play store?
go into the folder and delete them like you would on your pc.

You need a file manager, like root explorer, es file manager, Astro, etc..
Go to sdcard/externalsd/clockworkmod/backup
they should be in there..
For me, in astro file manger they're in mnt/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod
You can delete them using any file manager or when connected to a pc
Edit: I don't usually erase mine, I transfer them to pc and label accordingly. I generally only keep 2 backups on my phone, my stock rooted setup and most recent setup

How do i delete the old backups and make new ones. Im tired of having to uncheck most of the things i do not use anymore in a restore (alors of FONTS from before...Apps that I cant use or do not need anymore etc...) In the backup/restore all i can do is update or change what I already have.
Might be me again not seeing the obvious option.

Plug your phone into a PC and navigate to the folder where TBU stores its data. Delete everything in that folder. Run a new back up. Viola!

Or download a File Manager application and just blow out the folder with the phone. File Manager HD is pretty good.

i've been installing custom roms a lot and everytime I do I back up the phone. Now I'm wondering how to delete the really old back up files because I think they all using up a lot of memory and I'm never gonna go back to it.
thanks guys
Download a file manager from the play store (I use ez file explorer) look for the clockworkmod folder, then backups

-Connect your phone to PC and use it as disk drive.
-explore your phone from PC and go to folder clockworkmod then backup folder
-choose older roms that you want to delete and delete them ( they are written by date and time don't worry), simple :laugh:
hye,
I have created several nandroid backup using CWM. I would like to delete one or two of that backup, but can't find where it is located.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
On your SD card, there should be a folder called clocworkmod. look inside there and find a folder marked backup. There will be some date stamped folders in there. Just delete the folder.
If you have ROM manager, you can use it to delete backups too.

I have a backup file on my sd card from my old evo. The phones broken so i can't restore the backup. I wanted to pull some files out but I don't know how to go about doing it. I started making an emulated version of the phone but I'm not sure I'll be able to restore the backup in the emulated version. Any help would be great.
Put the file in your new phone and use a program like Nandroid Manager to extract what you need.
