Do not restore. Wipe system internal cache delvik and data too. Means go to full stock and try again

Wipe everything !
Go to 'WIPE' and select 'FACTORY RESET' then wipe 'CACHE' and 'DALVIK CACHE' then reboot and start your ROM from scratch.

Or just like ghost on windows, it will eliminate all the previous things by itself

better do a full wipe, wont hurt u at all, saves all the hassles if there's any.. flash full-wipe 1.3 and then do a nandroid restore is recommended..
You can also wipe manually via CWM -> wipe data / factory reset. If you don't want to use fullwipe.zip.

Wipe data/factory reset, only formats /data, /cache and /sd-ext. Not /system, /dalvik-cache or /boot

A wipe wont do any harm, but the restore overwrites everything anyhow
Better flash full-wipe.zip because a factory reset is just not a FULL wipe
I was recently on TDJ's Darkside Rom. I decided to flash the Infamous Resurrection. I followed the instructions Wipe Flash etc. However when I rebooted almost all of my apps are still there and then they start force closing like CRAAAAZY. I know I can go and "fix permissions" however I want a FULL CLEAN INSTALL. The other rom was giving me weird issues and I am ready for something else. I use TWRP. What's up? How can I do a system wipe and cache wipe and still have most of my apps? This doesn't seem right. How can I fix this? Thanks sincerely for any help given .
You need to write your data, or "factory reset", because your apps and stuff are kept in the data partition, not the system partition. Just do the factory reset, wipe system, cache, and dalvik, and then flash again.

This absolutely worked ! Thanks so much!
What's the best way to fully wipe before flashing a new ROM? I don't mean wiping from cwm. In my old phone which was the atrix, I could fully wipe using fastboot but the gs3 is different.

The quickest/most efficient/safest way to fully wipe is using the wipe menu in cwm or twrp
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, then go into mounts & storage and format system all in recovery
What does formatting /data in mounts in storage delete? I tried looking for the guide I saw weeks ago. I Just need to know what to backup (pictures, music etc)

The data partition... It's not a needed step because the Wipe Data / Factory Reset does that, but I do it anyways...
Ok so because it's redundant I won't lose my pictures and music because I don't lose it after a factory reset?

None of those steps will wipe your internal or external SD, but the options for that do exist in recovery...

OMG I am furious, I can't believe this, what eles can I do, Please HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

Factory reset to remove user data. Will wipe intsd if on stock recovery.
Use Odin to return to stock. This won't wipe data.
Your question could be worded better, I think. Did I answer your question? Not entirely sure what you're asking.
In CWM:
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe data factory reset
While in Cwm:
Go to mounts and storage
Format data and /data/media (/sdcard)
Flash rom
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Doing those steps will completly wipe the internal storage and when you boot the phone up everything will be as if you just unboxed the phone and started using it for the first time.
You can double check after flashing the rom, reboot device and skip all of the options in the setup wizard, then go to settings> storage and see how much memory is available.

May leave a dirty trace if not done properly. Wipe a few times to be sure.

Thats why you double check, by going to settings> storage afterwards.

Also if you do double check by going to settings> storage, afterwards just boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wiping cache and dalvik cache is optional.
