This happened to me before and I ended up having to restore. I thought they had fixed it with the update, but apparently not. Even after I delete the backup I made, I never get the space back. I lost 3 GIGS of space. I've looked using a file explorer and everything and still can't figure out where the backup is (it doesn't show in ROM manager itself anymore after deleting ) . any tips? I will hate my life if I have to restore again because of this retarded problem....

Since you are using Rom Manager I am assuming you are runing CWM Recovery. If that is the case the files are located in \sdcard\clockworkmod (or something close to that) if you want to remove all your backups delete everything in that folder. I personally would use ES File Explorer you can check the size of the folders. If there is a "blob" folder in forementioned location most of the backup resides in there.
If all of the above is true for you, you may want to look into installing TWRP for recovery and goo manager. It's pretty simple to do. I can help you out with that let me know.
Thank you so much, I am using es explorer, but there's no obvious folder taking that much space. I looked in clockworkmod folder and there is only a download folder, and its only like 16 megs. But when I go to settings and storage it still shows that 3 gigs missing. I even went in this app called 1 tap cleaner, and it also shows me with only 1 gig left (I had 4 gigs before doing the backup). I just don't understand why this only happens to me repeatedly, I've searched Google and cant find the problem. There has to be some reason for this, I can't believe I'm going to have to restore again ,I should have learned my lesson the first time ....

TWRP is a touch-based custom recovery, that basically handles the same as CWM. It's a recovery, not an app.
Check out this screenshot, the graphic Chart seems to show that I have four gigs, not one. And if you add up all the categories and how much space they use, it doesn't add up to 13 gigs, there is three gigs gone in thin air. this app screwed up my tablet, what a headache.....

Since you're rooted, check out "[root]/data/media/clockworkmod" with a file explorer. Not on the Sd card, on the root of the entire system. You should see folders like "system" there. That's where the backups are stored, at least on my N7. I'm not sure ES Explorer can go there. If it can't, try Total Commander (free) or Root Explorer (not free).
Thank you, using Total Explorer I did find a blobs folder exactly where you said it would be, filled with crap, but it won't let me delete it! It tries to, but then says it can't delete.....

Boom! Root Explorer worked. I was able to delete that Blobs folder and now I have 5.12 gigs free... Should I delete anything else, like that clockworkmod folder? Will that do any harm? There is also a backup folder in the clockworkmod folder, should I delete that? I really dont want anymore to do with this crappy Rom Manager app. Ive purchased Titanium and Im just using that going forward. Thanks you saved me a painful restore!

You can delete the entire clockworkmod folder, it won't affect anything else. CWM Recovery creates it to store backups, but it has no influence on anything else.
Glad everything worked out
Titanium is only good for backing up apps and settings and some are saying it's not really good for that anymore.
Install GooManager from the play store (it's free) open it, tap the three dots in the upper right hand corner, tap on install open recovery script. It will then install TWRP as your recovery program. You can manage your system backups from inside recovery including deleting them. If you ever want to manually delete a certain recovery while in the Android system (regular running conditions) Use your favorite file explorer to navigate to \sdcard\TWRP and the files will be in a subfolder within.

You could always lock and unlock. That'll wipe up the mess. Or find a superwipe flashable zip... but I don't know if there is one for the N7 yet.

Awesome, got it and made a backup. If you don't mind, can I just clarify how I would use the backup in the future? Basically I would copy the backup folder to my computer to save it, and if i ever return to stock, I would then just root, install goo manager, use it to install twrp, transfer the backup folder back to tablet, them launch twrp and choose the option to restore the backup? Thanks everyone for taking time to respond, you guys rock
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Damnit, the backup isn't showing anywhere, even though three gigs of space is gone. I used es file explorer and it shows the Twrp folder empty. If I launch twrp, how do I manage the backups? I chose install to see if it shows the backup but I didn't didn't dish didnt see it. Something is wrong with my tablet, damn

OK I found it using total commander, i had to go in root, data, media, twrp. Just like with ROM manager. How come its installing the backups there on mine, but not you guys. Is it because Im on 4.2.1? How do I get twrp to see the backup?
Ok I found this using google:
"One thing to note is that by default the latest version of TWRP will store your backups in a directory that’s inaccessible unless you use a file browser with root access. You’ll want to navigate to the /data/media/TWRP folder to find your backups manually.
In fact, even TWRP won’t be able to find the folder where your backup is stored automatically. You’ll need to navigate to it manually (or copy the backup to a more accessible folder).

Im not having much luck using Root Explorer to copy the folder to my sdcard, it says pasting for a couple minutes, then my screen shuts off and the tablet becomes unresponsive, so I end up having to reboot. I have no way to use or access this backup. This is nuts. I cant even get it to my computer, i cant access root from it, right?
Edit: Ok, after a lot of time and headaches, I finally got the backup folder pasted to my sdcard. Now twrp sees it and gives me the option to delete it. Only problem is, getting it onto my computer. Windows explorer still wont see the file, the same thing happens to me with my titanium backup folder too, it takes several tries and time to finally get windows to see it for some reason. I must be one of the few people to be doing backups and transferring them lately, I cant believe everyone else isnt dealing with this headache....
As an update, now that I moved the backup folder to the sdcard, now new backups are saving there automatically.

I try not to ask too many dumb questions without researching it myself, and while i found many people mentioning this problem, i never found a solution. At some point CWM 6.0.12 stopped making working back ups for me. if i try to restore anything i make with it, i get an md5 error. the only error i see when i make the back up is error finding an appropriate backup handler. I don't use nandorid back ups too often cause I love clean installations, but it makes my head bleed when something is not working right on my beloved phone.
I'm open to suggestions

but i can not find this entry on either storage card
so it looks like deleting the .android secure folder was the solution, was a pain to get to though. its a hidden folder that es wouldn't show me, switched to solid bowerser an was able to get it to show hidden folders and it appears to have worked.

This is a weird question- So I factory erased my phone. No problem. I also booted into recovery Clockwork recovery on my S3 by ATT to wipe data hoping this would clear and wipe everything from my phone.
It did not.
So as I'm searching threads how can I clear my phone including the internal storage? Every time I've wiped my phone all the files including downloads, pictures, come right back... How is this possible???
Yes I am rooted but I'm not running any special ROMS.
So how can I fully clear my phone so it's 100% wiped?
Silly question I know...

All your files are intact, they have just been moved around since you flashed the carbon rom.
If you had any nandroid backups they are intact too.
Read the following article and you will see exactly where they are using a file manager like root explorer.

Do you have TWRP? You can navigate the same directories using the file manager there or you can simply go into Settings > Storage and look through the categories in which are taking up the most space and remove what you can to then download a root browser and go from there.

For some strange reason i have the normal internal memory but also another one under the 0 folder inside of the internal memory. So now i have excessive memory lost because i have two of everything plus some other files/folders inside each memory unit. This is real confusing for me but i noticed it started after i installed JellyBeer, i switch back and forth between JellyBeer and stock and Vectus. Vectus and stock both use the same memory but jellyBeer has its own little thing goin on. TWRP also uses the second 0 folder as its main instead of the actual main one, ES Explorer uses the main one, SMS Backup And Restore uses the second one, MyBackup Root uses the main one after i set it to, and on and on with apps that deal with files. Only one that works right no matter what is music, even download folder is wrong. Any suggestions???, if u understand what im trying to say. Also theres another copy of everything in the data/media folder. So in total i have 3x as much space token from me.

The only way fix it is unroot back to stock and reroot the device. That's what I did anyway, and it fixed it. I think its from flashing ROMs cause it never happened before I gave cm a try.

The 0 folder is a feature of AOSP ROMs. It has something to do with the multiple user support of JB. When you flash an AOSP rom, it will create a "0" folder for that specific ROM. Even with an app like Root Explorer, getting into the standard SDCard folder will be basically impossible. I personally have not found a way to do this, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. If you flash a Stock ROM, a la Lifeless 14, you can go into any and all "0" folders. If you take the time, you can go into each and every one and delete it without any harm to your phone without having to do a factory reset.

Root Explorer
When i first rooted my phone I was able to get aokp mr1 and google apps to the root of the internal sd card, but I dont remember how. Using android file transfer I am unable to put any files into the internal memory of the phone. It allows me to put into folders, but upon rebooting into recovery the file is not visible.
On a side note i just flashed cm10.2 by putting the .zip into the download folder, and flashing the custom rom using rom manager app on the phone without rebooting into recovery. I however dont like this because in recovery you can delete all user data and such. When flashing it directly through the app you dont have that option.
My question is how do I add files to the root of the internal sd card using a Mac. Also how can i delete the older roms of the internal sd card.
I've been using the search and google for the past hour and kind find specifically what I need. Everything i've seen is for PC.

I ended up using an app called FTP server on the phone, and a software called Transmit on the Mac, that allowed me to drag and drop into the actual sd card instead of a folder. I rebooted into recovery and was able to flash the rom from there.
Glad you figured it out... But If you drag to just the right spot, it won't make you put it in a folder, I managed to get several ROMs and APKs on the root of sdcard0.

Where do you drag it? I couldnt get it to drop anywhere.
on a side note do I have to do an image captcha for every post I make
The CAPCHA's are courtesy of your new membership, eventually they'll go away, I think it's after... 10 posts? Don't quote me.
Here's a screenshot, drag to where the yellow is, if you put it over other FILES in the root, it'll go in the root, too. If you drag it over FOLDERS, it'll go in a folder you hovered over.

Ok thanks, the screenshot isn't working for me but I will check to see if that your technique works for me. What rom are you running? I got aokp milestone 2, I like it but my battery life really sucks. I dunno if its related to the rom or not, because I know the nexus doesnt have a very good battery to begin with.
Yeah the site is and will be down for... I'd say another 10 hours from this post... I was hoping you'd see it before maintainence.
I just got a fresh (new) OEM 2100mAh extended battery, world of difference, it's better than most phones' battery lives.
I'm on CM10.2, and I usually don't have to charge every day, rather every other with low-moderate usage.
People ***** day and night about this ROM's battery life and this kernel's "vast improvement".... Whatever, none of that **** worked out for me (okay, maybe I got 5 more minutes out of my battery), the extended battery did.
