So I'm trying to free up some space because i only have an 8gb card, and i want to download the new Batman game, which takes up a lot of space. So my question is, are the lost.dir files needed? Because they take up a lot of space, but i don't know what to delete

You can delete them but they will keep coming back
If your lost.dir is taking up any space (past the directory itself), you have had filesystem corruption problems on that volume. That directory is used when the OS can't repair the filesystem and puts "orphaned" directories and files in there.

Um, the Web browsers are full browsers. The same search capabilities exists on the phone as the PC. almost everyone of your threads posted , you could have found the answers to your questions. Also almost all of your
threads are posted in the wrong section and start out with an apology first which makes me think you know exactly what you're doing.

You should try to get a spare SD card. Let me tell you. It's a TOTAL PITA to copy all the files back into the SD card (had to do it two or three times). I wanted to shoot laser beams at my phone.
Used my 2gb sd card. But i wanted to figure out what the problem was. So i tried like 5 times. THen figured out that i had to delete my voodoo folder already existing on my 32 gb sd. :x. Hope this helps other people. And thanks to everyone who helped me with this

I'm curious to know how this is working out for everyone...how many of us use links2sd. And the ones who use it how much space were you able to save?
For me it seems to be working fine and i have been able to consistently keep 200mbs of free space..the ui is nice and easy to understand. What are the disadvantage to using this?

With Valhalla Final, L2sd, and absolutely no bloat at all, it's easy to keep that much free space. I move everything i possibly can to sd.

UGH.
What partition are you guys using.
I tried ext2. After 2 reboots all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I tried ext4. After "1" reboot all my apps disappeared and L2SD failed to mount partition 2.
I am trying FAT32, hopefully will work.

Do I need to partition my SD card prior to using the app, or will the app do it on its own?

You will need to partition it first. You will lose all data on your SDcard so make sure you have your card backed up.
1. Go into recovery and partition your card.
2. Open up Link2SD and it will ask what type of partition it is ( I believe it is ext3, I could be wrong though )
3. Select the partition type then it will create the script.
4. Reboot phone and open up Link2SD and set it up as you would like.

try installing busybox, this should take care of the apps disappearing. it that doesn't work just clear both caches and then you should be good to go. make sure lind2sd is set to ext4 as your sd card should be formatted to this with the latest roms if i am not mistaken.

Make sure you back up your original file too.
Should I be flashing every nightly? Not sure how it works. I can update it via my settings but idk where it saves to and how much space its taking up.

I'm not running CM10 but I can say that ROM is probably at least 150MB. Every nightly you download and don't delete is taking up space on one of your SD cards.
The updater app should tell you where it is downloading the files to.

Thanks so much for the reply. Its not giving me an option to install them to my external CD card and keeps defaulting It to my internal. Hmm

Just delete them after installing the next one and keep the current one on your card

OP doesn't know where they are, tho I believe the CM10 updater allows you to pick and choose to delete files.
OP: I'm not positive but I believe there's a directory made on the internal sdcard called cmupdater or something to that effect. I haven't been on CM10 for almost a month.
