hye,
I have created several nandroid backup using CWM. I would like to delete one or two of that backup, but can't find where it is located.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
On your SD card, there should be a folder called clocworkmod. look inside there and find a folder marked backup. There will be some date stamped folders in there. Just delete the folder.
If you have ROM manager, you can use it to delete backups too.
sent from here to there... on this phone running a rom

ive done back up with both amon_ra and clockwork... i found the nand. folder to delete back ups.. and found the clockwork folder but cant find where to delete back ups?
I don't know from experience, but I believe someone said that the ClockworkMod backups were in the "backups" folder inside the Clockwork folder on your SD card. I don't know if the file structure is the same. For Amon Ra, you open the nandroid folder and inside there is a folder with your serial number. You should only have one folder unless you have backups from multiple phones. The individual backups are in individual folders in there, named by date. I move all but the most recent to my computer & delete them. If you're specifically using Amon Ra now, you can probably just delete the entire Clockwork folder. Of course if you want to save them then move them to your computer.

You can use root explorer (paid) or estrongs file explorer(free)
You can't delete them from recovery.
Edit: Well you can if you mount the card through usb while in recovery. Then you could delete it from your computer.

Is there a way to delete some of the backups that you have made in nandroid?
defiantly go into your sd card with astro or any file management app and look for a Clockworkmod folder. there's a back up sub folder. you can delete from there which one you dont want or need anymore,
HI, i got this problem since i update to 4.2 (or i notice just after update) :
i made one nandroid backup in 4.1.2 and 2 backup in 4.2, but when i enter in clockworkmod/backup i can see only the files from old 4.1.2 backup.
New backup really exist because i can restore it from recovery! but no way to see the files or directory under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup ...what is the problem? to browse folders i use root explorer, and also in windows7, but i always see only the old backup directory i made on 4.1.2... now deleted it, but no changes, now the backup folder is empty...
any ideas/solution?
thanks!

/sdcard is a symlink the files are actually stored at /data/media/0. The new CWM bacups should be at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
Hey..
I made backup of ROM via CWM but it saved the files to somewhere odd place and explorers can't find the location, what to do?
How I can move it back to "sdcard" ??
Edit: I found it: /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod
Hello
My problem is that I downloaded the nand stock rom from the thread and extracted it and tried to put it in the clockworkmod\backups folder and I think it was ok (not sure) but by mistake I deleted all of backups (the stock and the one i created) and I tried to copy it again and create another one but I noticed that there never 2 backups.
The one that I created I can see only from the restore option in recovery and not in the folder ( I used to see it in the folder ..) and the stock one I can see in the folders but not in the restore option.
Should it be like this ? Am I doing something wrong ?
How can I restore that stock backup if I cant see it ?
I'm on ordroid 9 with TWRP recovery.
And the stock one gets in ZIP but i extracted it and copied as folder.
Thanks in advance , I'm afraid to flash new version.
That's because you didn't put it into clockworkmod>backup folder in the sd card and btw you don't extract anything .....every nandroid backup must have 5 zip files in it (don't extract it) and should be named as the date and time it was created
The folder should be like this
Clockworkmod\backup\date & time folder\backup files

I know :\
I extracted the stock backup folder from the zip . not the content in backup.
Forgot the part about renaming, that actually might be the case.
Thanks both of you, I'll try it.
