OKay I'm coming from a Nexus S where things seemed to be so much easier. I initially had CWM but when I performed a backup I could not find my backups anywhere using windows. So I went into CWM and deleted the backup created by CWM and installed TWRP. Well I did a backup using that and when I restarted my phone and went to view my backup again I couldn't find it. So I deleted TWRP and installed CWM again.
Now I went to install from SD on CWM and I finally seen my folders that I couldn't see on Windows. I'm guessing they're on the root of the SD file and I can't locate it on my phone at all. So I was wondering how would I go about deleting it on ADB. Please help.
Here's a picture of where TWRP is on phone and the backup that I can't view on TWRP but can see on CWM.

So how would I delete it? I can't find it on my phone or Computer. But I can see it when I go into CWM.
Nevermind I figured it out.

Go into TWRP, click on restore then click on the backup you want to delete. There will be a button that says "Delete Backup".
Image of said button.
for me. I can see my twrp backup using a file manager (and using root browser) and I can see the backup on my pc BUT, when i boot into twrp it says the backup folder is empty! and when i try to delete the 4.6gb back up file using my pc or using root browser it fails to delete the file (no error, just says 'Unable To Delete File'...what gives!? I'd really like that 4,6 gigabytes of space back on my phone lol!

put the ROM on your SD card if you didn't do it before ..
Did you flash new boot.img of the ROM you're about to flash ??
after these , install zip from SD card
So now he has managed to install recovery. You now need to flash the boot.img from the rom you wish to use via fastboot as well as the rom.zip file via recovery. As mentioned above, follow all steps in the guide.
PS! You can expect some flaming as you should post these types of questions in the Q&A section
Thanks and I apologize for posting in the wrong section. Is there anyway I can move or delete it.

No worries, you can't move it. I have reported it to a mod to move to the correct section.

So did you end up flashing a ROM or do you still only have a recovery? Use twrp if you can't get cmw to mount

I've always used CWM but I see everyone basically recommending it. I've tried it in the past and I've never had it work probably, they just updated it to 2.4.2.0, so I figured I'd give it a shot. The time zone is set, time never is correct, battery is no where near correct, that doesn't bother me, however, I cannot make a backup. I CAN and do, but once I reboot and enter recovery again, it doesn't show up under restore. The backup is still in my phone though via root explorer. I usually fast boot flash the .IMG file, but I also used goo manager to just see if somehow it got corrupt. To be honest the only two features I like are being able to name your backups, and multi zip flashing is neat. What the ****?
TL;DR
Toro user
TWRP doesn't keep backups, date and battery info are incorrect.

backups should be in /data/media/0/TWRP/...
because the virtual sdcard is in /data/media/0/ for android 4.2 and above

That's just a redirect.
Just how like that's the same for:
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/storage/sdcard0
/sdcard/
Are all the same directory, same files.
REGARDLESS, twrp should account for the 4.2 filesystem as you needed to update your recovery going to 4.2 to have these issues corrected and my clockwork touch recovery works fine, and I've used the newest twrp, so it makes no sense, I've even backed up my storage, deleted /data/media while doing a full cleanup to have twrp and my ROM create the correct directories for 4.2 and it still doesn't work.
If it wasn't the correct version it would keep creating /x/0/0/0 everytime I flashed a new ROM which it doesn't.
I'm over it as twrp only has those two features which doesn't bother me and the interface is ugly IMHO.

It's not a redirect. /data/media/0 is the physical location of the data. The other locations are either fuse mounts or symlinks that point back to this location.
Hey I know this is probably a repeat thread but im having trouble finding an answer. This would help me tremendously.
I install a ROM, it already has TB installed. Its not Pro. I purchased pro and want to install.
When try to install I get an error saying signature already exists. I dont see a way to uninstall because it was
Built into the Rom. Please let me know how to remove. Also is the removable process the same on each android version (ics, jb etc.)
Thanks for your help!
Use a root explorer mount the system as write and delete the app. Look in /system/app/

I posted a titanium removal zip. I know there are quite a few of people who don't use it.
Plus I can't put pro version in a ROM, because you have to pay for it.

And for some reason it doesn't work but, it should.
use ES file explorer or root explorer (make sure system is read and write R/W)
go to system/app and delete com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.apk

you have to reboot for the changes to take place. I had this same issue before, if you use titanium backup to freeze itself and destroy market link (destroy the market link first) then uninstall with root explorer you shouldn't have anymore issues. All you'll need to do is download from market after a reboot and it should recognize the pro key
I'm currently low on space on my internal storage and I believe the problem is old nandroid backups from back when I used CWM. I now use TWRP and it doesn't see my old backups. Where can I find the backups so that I can delete them?
If all you wanna do is deal with the nandroid backups on your device, I use Nandroid Manager (from Google Play store, its free). It finds the paths where any and all backups on the device may be stored, and lists them for you. You can then go and delete them or browse them if you want...
I've tried that, but it only shows my most recent backup that was made with TWRP. It doesn't show any of my old backups that I made when I was still using CWM

Download Rom Manager in the play store from Clockworkmod and go to Manage and Restore Backups and then delete them.

Use a file browser and go to sdcard-clockworkmod and they should all be there. Cut and paste them to a computer if you need to save them. You can always use titanium back as well as app from above to extract anything you need.
Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with school and just got around to attempting to fix this issue to no avail. I tried reflashing CWM to see if it could see old recoveries but I couldn't see any. I'm beginning to think it's not actually old nandroid files, but something else taking up all the storage instead. I've used diskusage and root explorer to try and find something that was taking up lots of room, but nothing was taking up much space. I don't have many apps, and there's no way the rom should be taking up this much room. This thread over at androidcentral shows other people having the same problem. This is getting pretty bad as I can't update or install any apps.

After doing some digging around in diskusage I finally found the culprit. All of the old recoveries had been moved into /data/lost+found. Deleting the contents fixed all my problems! Hopefully this will help someone else out, it has been driving me crazy.

Btw, how do I go to /efs/imei/keystr ??
The instructions in the other thread says to do following:
"You have to go into /efs/imei/keystr
and delete keystr and make a new file called keystr and use text editor in root explorer to type ON in it and reboot."
Edit: My phone is not rooted at all.. And i wasn't messing around with it either when the screen showed up!
I installed a file explorer.. I see folder efs but when I go into that, no imei or any other folder shows up.. it's blank!
Please help!

You need a root file explorer(I use es file explorer). Go into settings and enable r/w options. Then you should be able to find the efs directory.
Edit: so I saw your post in the other thread that says you aren't rooted. The only other way that I know to get rid of the text is to flash a different ROM.
I contacted Samsung and the guy on phone did not understand what I was saying! LOL.. Anyways, they asked me to send it back.. so, lets see what they do.. btw.. anyone know how fast is the samsung warranty centre?
I wish they did like Google, replace the phone.. No repairs!
