So I've tried 4 different roms and finally settled in on Bonestock 3.3. Others I tried were Hyperdrive, JellyBeans, and MOAR. Only probably I'm having is I can't delete the leftover files on the internal storage drive from the other 3 roms. I've tried the stock My Files Browser, ES File Explorer, JRummy's Root Browser and even Rom Toolbox Pro's file explorer and none of them will delete these left over files from the other rom. WTF!!
*yes they all have root permissions.

I would do a factory reset wipe and format internal memory. Then reinstall your ROM

Yes. I was in the same boat. My first row was cyangenmod CM 10.1 but missed the stock stuff. So I have tried all most all the TW roms and had the left over files. So I moved everything I wanted to my external sdcard and formatted everything else to clean it up.
Glad it worked

Trying to free up space?
use a app like file explorer.
If you're not using a computer to do so, use a file explorer such as Astro or ES File Explorer, both are free and available in the Play Store. Just throwing this in here, if you plan on deleting CWM backups just boot into Recovery and delete them that way.

if you're deleting nandroid backups, then do it from recovery. It'd delete appropriate data from your blob folder.

I would recommend going to the recovery and wiping it from there or using a file explorer.:silly:
I think CWM backup failed attemps due to lack of space have eaten my sdcard somewhere with hidden or partial files, as I deleted /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and the problem persists.
My files are below 2GB. I have tried several tools such as SD Maid but couldn't solve the issue. Even walk all my sdcard tree manually with ES file explorer (hidden files included).
What do you recommend me to Iook at? I want to start using CM10 and test AD2P

After Uninstalling the Game, you need to delete data from There downloaded folder. If you can find the folder of there, then can perform the action.

It should help you identify what eats your sd card
Finally I found the source of the problem. CWM was doing backups in /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backups. Any backup that failed - for example due to lack of space - won't be seen by CWM, and apparently, by any file explorer in Android itself. I could see them in my PC. After removing I'm back to a normal situation
Hello! I need help!
I flashed a rom yesterday and I backed up my rom before flashing. Today I was trying to restore my backup and the system did not find it. I can see it using Astro file manager under clockworkmod and backups. But on recovery it won't show. And the recovery shows three backups that I don't remember doing but two out of the three are not accesible. Please, if you can tell me how to make clockworkmod see my backup. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
Did you backup to the internal drive or external sd card. Try going to your backup and restore then click the restore from external sd card to see if it is possibly there.

I don't have an SD card. It was saved on my internal drive. I tried to but it says I can't because there is no Sd card.
Did you format your internal drive before you tried restoring the backup. Usually my cwm just populates the ones I have done or if I want to pull one of the ones on my sd card I can. I will try moving my backup and see if I can replicate the problem.

no I didn't I'll try to move it to an sd card and see what happens
I moved my backup to another folder and cwm did not find it. I'm not sure if you possibly moved it from the clockwork folder or not. I hope you figure it out.

If you are still having problems try going into rom manager app. Should have a manage and restore option. From there it should have a list of your backups and will let you restore from one of those.

Another thing to try is to make sure your recovery is current and up to date. That same thing happened to me (with TWRP) and it turned out it was due to me flashing a 4.2 rom (which changes the file structure of your sd) and having an older recovery that didn't support it.

So I just went from TW to Slimbean and I had backed up my apps with Titanium Backup, but when I reinstalled TB it doesnt have any files pertaining to app backups. I formated system and did clean install of slimbean, but I thought TB backedup to the SD...? I am wondering if maybe 4.2 just created a new folder for TB so its empty... something to do with the /0/ thing? Any help would be appreciated..

Did you remember to change the Backup folder in Titanium Backup to the /mnt/extSdCard directory when you installed it? If not it would have defaulted to the internal SDCard.
Unfortunately I did not do as such... Is there a way to navigate my nandroid to pull that tb data? Or do I have to revert back to the nandroid and pull the data off there?

Menu/Preferences/Backup Folder Location/Detect/Whole device. This will make TB scan the entire phone for your backups. Your data has been moved inside the /0 folder and has a symlink to /data/media cuz of AOSP 4.2.2.

Turns out there is actually an option to extract backups from a nandroid... So I did that and it worked. All is well.

d2vzw running Liquid Smooth 2.10 with BMS kernel, not sure what happened but while i was setting up rom, i lost information on /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.banana.threenotes (catch notes data, such as images).
The ****ty part is, it's on the internal storage, so i've tried some restoring methods and i've gotten nothing. Also, i've renamed the .nomedia file so that way media can be read (.nomedia is in the android folder).
Let me know if you guys\gals have any ideas. thank you in advanced-

How will a factory reset or reflashing a ROM help recover data on the /mnt/sdcard/android folder?
I've already restored to my backup and it ain't there.

can't say that helped. The files are gone permanently. This is the data of catch notes, which was discontinued (sync services) but it still worked on local storage, it saved it on /mnt/sdcard/android/data , i lost it in transition (the only thing i lost) of going from LS 3.0 beta to LS 2.10 (which is still 4.3) , i'm looking for ways to run data recovery on internal memory -

I'd say it's gone, a nandroid won't restore anything on your internal storage. Even if restore a perfect backup nothing will come back.
I would try using a file manager and navigating to the folder and checking manually where it could have gone from there, but something probably got corrupted.
