If you are using TWRP then you click on restore and then click on the backup you want to delete and press delete backup.

There in an option in twrp that allows you to name the backup whatever you'd like to before backing up

He CLEARLY stated in the TWRP thread that if you have a nandroid back up with CWM you will NEED to redo your back ups. so i would think that if he made a point to ask people to do that, that the current CWM back ups you have most likely will not work<<<
unless you simple talking about renaming a TWRP back up

only one way to make sure, but i think as long as there are no spaces you should be able to do that......i have never tried though, i have not actually needed to use one of my back ups in SOOO long.

Can I delete CWM backup blobs?

Is it possible to delete the backup blobs in CWM? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard there is a folder called blobs, erase it and you will get alot of free memory

You won't be able to restore to the backups that those blobs pertained to.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Ahhh! Wait. Deleting the /blobs folder would be very bad, if you wanted to restore backups! See this post by CWM's developer:

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

I don't think the TWRP backups should have anything to do with the blobs folder. (i could be wrong but i don't think i am) And i love your galaxy S3 rom reviews.

important quistion

can i redownload indivisual apps from a back up? if so how
Just open the back up file and long press and hit extract, I use root explorer but there are several other file manager apps out there, some even free, that will do the same thing.

Just do what kintwofan said above. You have to use the pay version of TB to do it though.
If you are doing any amount of flashing/restoring ROM's, you will definitely get your $ worth for that app.

Backing up with recovery will backup allllll of the data from that ROM. It might cause some things to force close in the older version ROM but then again it may not. It will also put unneed data onto your phone if the app isnt installed

To search for what? And you dont need to take the SD card out. Just make sure the "wipe the SD card" is not checked when you go to wipe
