I would check the folders for any files or data that you may need and back them up to a computer before you start. Don't want to lose any important files like pics (DCIM folder). If you have ringtones and suck you want to keep, back up the media folder. Basically, just backup whatever you want to keep then copy it back when you're done
You can go back to stock, then do a factory reset. That will wipe the internal SD card. I like to format mine from a PC once in a while if I am in the middle of a flash fest. Keeps things clean.
Thanks you. basically non of those folders are important for me. The only folder i would copy to PC would just be DCIM folder. So I can delete all those folder right and it won't screw my phone for re flashing the ROM?

Deleting everything definitely isn't a good idea.
When you flash back to stock, you can do a factory reset and it'll remove all the unnecessary stuff before you flash your ROM (you should do this anyway).
You CAN delete everything on there if you're going to be flashing a new rom, going back to stock, etc. Backup whatever you NEED. and format the SD card, i recommend you do it from within the phone settings > privacy > factory reset + format.
Everything in /sdcard is deletable.

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/<create a new folder>/<backup folder name>
its the same for external SD just replace the first section with the external sd card first.

It´s like this:

First go to your own PC
C:\Users\ +your pc name+\Documents\Android\data and create a folder (if you want this name) /windowsdata.
Paste, copy files or do whatever you want
then in Bluestacks Beta follow this route
/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/documents/android/data/windowsdata (this is your folder It had been created).
Paste, copy files or do whatever you want
that´s it!
You Don´t have to install Dropbox or other apps in order to access your files in your Pc.
Enjoy it!
another route to see your files in your PC
another route
To share your file
in your PC
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder
In Bluestacks Beta
/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/bstSharedfolder
Are conected

Hey Mates, Now here i'm going to tell u how to Install/Flash apps with custom recovery.........
Let we start,
There are 2 ways in which we can Install/Flash apps.
1. User Apps :- Those apps which can be removable any time.
2. System Apps:- Those apps which cannot be removed without the root permission.
Note:- It is totally yours choice to choose which package to install your apps in your device.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, Installation instructions.
1. Download the ZIP according to your need.
2. Open the zip file with any of them 7zip, winzip, winrar or anything else.
3. Look inside the zip! DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING! All you need to do is ADD STUFF!
4.i. If you are going to install app as user then go to data/app folder,and here drag n drop ur app.
..ii. If you are going to install app as System then go to system/app folder,and here drag n drop ur app.
REMEMBER: Do Not DELETE anything! ADD APK files ONLY in the "app" folder.
5. Click OK button, Wait for the APK files you copy to get added to the archive.
6. Close the archive.
7. Rename and copy the archive to your Memory Card.
8. Boot into Custom Recovery and flash the copied zip file you just created.
9. Enjoy!!:good:
You can do many more with them than flashing apps, but for general purpose usage, this should be enough.
THis is COOLL!!! Bro
I am running out of storage on my sdcard and my phone gives me this information:

Are these the backups of TWRP, that use so much storage?
Why is clockworkmod still there using so much space? I flashed TWRP after using clockwork since I learnt, that TWRP is more recent and up to date. can I delete clockwork folders?
cmupdater: again, are these the downloaded zip nightlies? I should right now just have 3 zip files.
Thank you very much for your answers.
If you have twrp and used it instead of clockworkmod then yes, you can delete it. It is big because probably you still have there the backups you've made with CWM while you used it. Make sure you have backups with TWRP then you can delete the CWM
A typical backup of a ROM could be around 2-3 GB depending on what ROM you use, which GAPPS package and how many apps you have installed. So if youhave more backups then that folder can be pretty big

Agree
I want to install a GSI and when I want to do a wipe (as practically all the tutorials on youtube show) I am surprised that my TWRP does not show it, instead, I get Metadata (which I really do not know and do not want to touch), I really want to install a GSI rom and every day I have more problems, I thank you to explain or help me to activate System (if it is possible).

Sorry to hear that youre having problems with your device. If you want to install a gsi, theres no need to wipe system.
Just copy the gsi.img to your internal storage.
Then in twrp, tap "install image" and locate the gsi.img file that you stored on your internal storage and select it.
Twrp will ask you to select a partition you want to flash, in this case choose "system" .
Comfirm the flash operation and wait for it to complete.
Wipe data and reboot your device.

Do a wipe to "Data" instead.
