[Q] How To Manually Wipe Data and Cache via CWM?

Hello all. Noob.
REFUSE V1.7 Installation instructions [LINK] states
"If you are coming from another ROM, manually wipe data and cache via CWM before installing."
Can anyone please explain this to me?
I am coming from a different ROM (Infused), and I cracking my skull here trying to understand what is CWM and how to get there and how to wipe the cache and data
Thanks!

In CWM scroll to wipedata/factory. N then wipe particions. N there you go.

If you install rom from sd card (its an option on rom manager) you'll get options to wipe data and what not.

I have a question

If I have cm7 on my phone. And I flash a cm7 based rom do I have to do a full wipe?

Read the op for the ROM you are flashing. It will tell you what is recommended. You can always try to flash it without wiping and if doesn't work right, do a full wipe and flash again.

you should wipe everything before flashing a new rom
read the instruction
Don't forget to hit THANKS button

[Q][URGENT]Is This Fixable?
Every time after that time I wiped everything but I forgot once. Would forgetting to wipe everything cause something like the issue I'm having? And if so is it fixable?

Did you flashed a completely other Rom? Or only an"update" of your Rom?
If you only "updated" your rom:
Boot into recovery
wipe Cache Partition
and Wipe Dalvic Cache (under "Advanced")
Reboot
This won´t delete any User Data

New ROM :-[

Go to recovery and be sure that your kernel is compatible with your rom and before flashing you do full-wipe : factory/data wipe and cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe !
After that will it defenitly work!
If not then you should take a look on a other rom or restore your stock rom using odin !

He already said that he flashed stock rom. When u have flashed go right away to recorvery and do full wipe and It works. U don't need to do nothing more.
