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.....

hmm, strange...works well for me...it shouldn't need root access for that...might be a file explorer thing...try some other explorers, too. Maybe you can get a hold of Root Explorer.

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.
Or just send it to me, I'll solve your problem for you!

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

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.

In the future, use disk usage to find what I'd taking up space. Then solid explorer can delete the files... And calm down, geez. you sound like someone who is on the edge of a cliff just because of a tablet... Nit the end of the world

Whatever, being annoyed because I keep having to restore over a stupid problem only equates to thinking its the end of the world in your mind.

I flashed Cyanogenmod, turned out to be crap I came back to stock with horrible battery life, literally 3-4 Hours instead of 6-7 but I can't wipe battery stats since that option misteriously evaporated from CWM (Ah how good it is to make people's life harder)
It's gone cause it does nothing, there are apps for it in the play store though.... If you have that battery life (either of the numbers you quoted) you are on your phone A LOT, lol. I suggest trying to clean install everything and (backing up first) and wiping everything on internal and external storage and maybe even odin. Don't call CM crap by the way, just down right rude.
I just wiped everything to go back to stock are even listening? No I'm not on my phone a lot and batteries don't go from 7 to 3 hours just like that, on iPhone maybe but not here. So it's the stats or there is still in my system from Cyano****mod
Did you read what you just wrote lol, did you wipe system??? You actin crazy lol.

No offense but if you can't even understand the difference between the root of the sd card and the root of the system then you probably shouldn't be playing with root at all.. I wouldn't be surprised if you're phone becomes nothing but a paperweight.. I'd stick to stock if I were you.

You need a file explorer/manager which has option for root access.
Once you install one you will be able to see the root /data/system folders
Then when you open that /data/system folder you can delete batterystats.bin
After you see the folders open the /data/system folder and be sure that
the file explorer you use has option to change the attributes of the folder
and files from R/O to R/W.
R/O means "read only" RW means you can "read and write" you need the
read/write attributes in order to delete any files or folders found on the
root directory of your phone.
I suggest using Root Explorer from the play store, in my experience I found
it to be the very best for doing just about anything which needs a file explorer.
I used to swear by Root Explorer. Then I found Solid Explorer. Destroys it in every conceivable way. Try it, there's a 14 day trial. The developer also at least pretends like he cares about his users. The Root Explorer team just ignores you.
I've also heard the new ES File Explorer is very good. Plus it's free. Always hated it in the past solely because the UI was the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Yes, a terrible UI is more than enough to turn me away from an otherwise good app.
If you're rooted, just download an app from the play store called "battery calibration". That deletes the battery stats.
Deleting battery stats is snake oil. If you wiped everything, you wiped battery stats too. It's not magically missing, it was removed from cwm for a reason.

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.

This information should be accurate enough for OP to find his files.
The SD cards have a lot of symlinks in Android. The one true path for your internal SD is /data/media. Your files are there.

/data/media/ is honestly all you really need to know.. Every single folder/file that exists within your internal storage lie within that directory. Once you find what you're looking for you can take it from there.

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.

Surprisingly I had the same issue. It was reading from two different spots but when I plugged into a computer it only read from one, I couldn't save all my stuff cause I couldn't get to it. 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. I hope this helps in any way.

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
Im running Quantum V3, 4.4.1 KitKat on AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. Last night I played around with phone, unmounted SD card cuz I needed to check my battery drainage. After I remounted it, ESfile explorer says that sdcard1 has "Invalid path". Even tho in settings > storage, it shows that there is sd card and how much space there's left on it...
I did a clean flash of the ROM before if that matters. I don't wanna reflash it and arrange all the apps all over again...
Also when I check the sd card through the app folders, aka in storage/sdcard1, it shows files and everything. What could be the issue that I cant get it to work?

Probably one of the bugs with the latest update by PwnCakes. Maybe you didn't unmount properly, or try formatting the sd card and plug it in again?
I have the same exact thing.
Sigh, at least I'm not alone xD
And I didn't try formatting, got 27 gig stuff on my SD card and unfortunately no space on HDD to copy all the stuff :/
Shame I ain't got enough posts to reply in PwnCakes thread...
I think it might actually be a bug within the rom itself OR ES file explorer. I had this bug since I think a few releases ago
I have the exact same problem. Under "device", i have two copies of extSDcard. I also get the "invalid path" when i tap on sdcard1. I guess i'll wait for a fix, as i don't want to uninstall ES File Explorer, and reinstall, just to lose everything.

I will post my workaround for ES when I get to my computer. It will basically circumvent the error to make it usable. Just keep and eye on this post, I'll edit it in.

Aight, nice to hear someone wants to help till it's solved!:victory:
Temporary ES File Explorer Workaround for SD Card and Ext SD Card
Sorry it took so long. Just got done finals and had to get the bus. Below is the settings that you guys can use to make it almost as if nothing was wrong with ES.
Set your directory settings for Home to the External SD Card
Change the default window settings to the following: Sdcard, Home, whatever else you want loaded AFTER these
This will make it so that the first loaded 'window' of ES is the device's internal memory. Then it will load the external SD card as the second 'window'. As long as you check it in the proper order, it will load just fine.

That does work indeed... Thanks!
Followed directions, and i get LAN with a blank page, then i still have to tap on the top of the app, and go into the directory to find sd card, and ext sd card(which used to be sd card1. What would happen if i wiped data on ES File Explorer, deleted the app, and then reinstalled it? Thanks for any help.

Idk how you got LAN. Uncheck all of the windows then select them in the order I provided. Also make sure home directory is set to your external SD card at whatever path it is. Also can you provide a screenshot?

O.K.,now. LAN was checked, in windows settings, but i didn't see it. If the problem is ES File Explorer, will it be fixed in the next upgrade? I've never had this problem with my other roms. Thanks for the help.:good:

I'll be honest with you. I check play d store almost daily to see if there is anything new with ES. I don't know. It might be a problem with the selinux transition from 4.3 to 4.4. It could be a million things but I think its just some back end code for the file system. :/

Right, so in your opinion, wiping & uninstalling, then reinstalling would just bring back the same problem?

Just found FX File Explorer. It works perfectly, and also has a "dark theme", which i like. There's a root access add-on with it, also for free, but it's telling me to grant it root access using my installed "SuperUser" app. How do i do that with that app? Thanks, again for all your help.:good:

Super user should pop up a prompt if you're rooted. Also, I know the error that breaks ES but idk how to fix it myself. Is a problem with permissions.xml

I get the prompt, but it keeps being denied by SU, however, it goes into Titanium Backup. I'm wondering if i really need root access. I don't think that i have it with ES File Explorer.

@grunt0300 if you really want, I can take a look into the permission.xml. however, no way I am making the commits to my device at the moment. All I know (without looking up the exact wording) is that in permissions.xml is a line for read external storage and that line is set to media/mnt/sdcard instead of storage/sdcard1.
