SD card space

When I went to copy a rom to my sdcard, it said my card was full. I figured it was because of old nandroid backups, so I deleted them, but the sd card space has actually gone down instead of freeing up space.
???
I'm baffled. Anyone know how to fix this?
What size sd card and where did you get it?
It is the one that came with my Incredible.

Is it possible to delete everything from my SD card and start new? It's saying there is 1.8gb total, but only 28mb available.
Or can I flash roms using my phone storage?

You can just format it (FAT32). Backup what you need. And maybe store stuff on the internal storage. You have to use the SD card for ROM's etc.

media not scanning on SD card

so i got my inc off ebay, and the guy didn't clear the internal memory, and i didn't see how to even after i did a factory reset and everything it was still on there. so i reformatted the internal storage when it comes up on usb/debuging. and now the media on my SDcard isn't being found by the gallery or music app or anything, but its there if you use file expoler??? i tried a couple apps that said they scan media, but its not finding it, any suggestions..??
Did you format it as fat32?

i think so but i did it on the computer when you mount your usb storage, but i didn't mess with the SD card, that was just the internal storage? is there a wiki or faq on clockwork recovery, theres quite a few different format under the storage.

Apps on usb storage

My phone allows me to install apps only on the internal storage (2gb) not on the internal usb storage (12gb). How do I install apps on the usb storage?
Thanks

You can use Titanium Pro to move it to SD but I think thats only for external SD.

Pretty sure that is showing your internal SD storage.

Yep. Thats your internal. Put an SD in there and you get another set of graphs showing the SD storage capacity. And notice it says USB storage instead of SD storage.

External vs Internal sdcard

I've read in a couple places people talking about putting your ROM image onto external or internal sdcard. What is the internal sdcard? Is this just the phone's standard internal file system or is it something separate? Where is it if I look in a file manager?
Related question: if I use internal storage to upload a ROM image I want to flash, where's the best place to put it? Right in / (root)? Or somewhere better?
Basically it's your internal storage:

Internal storage is a 9GB partition on your phone's 16GB internal memory. It acts as if it was any other SD card.
It works fine in conjunction with an external SD card. You will see SD0 and SD1 in any file explorer app. SD0 is the internal. SD1 is the external.
It doesn't matter if you put the ROM you want to flash on the internal or external. Recovery can see it in either place. And the directly doesn't matter. Jus tput it in a directyory you can remember when you're looking for it in recovery. I think most peopl ejus tuse the defaul DOWNLOADS directory.
I usually put the ROMs I'm going to flash in internal storage, but I erase them a lot.

Yes, in root.

Thanks for the replies!
When using the different wipe options in recovery, does the 9GB internal partition (sd0) get wiped by any of the typical wipe choices?
Wiping data does.
