make it hidden

How do you make it hidden?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)

make the folder's name begin with (.) like .data .private

Ok so sorry to jump in on this thread, so the program using the folder will still find it?. And how would you unhide it again from the phone?
Using XDA Premium (GT-N7000)

No, if you put . , then the program would make it again...
Some folders you just cannot delete...only way would be to uninstall the app, and then delete...
Also, folders like DCIM, .android_secure, cannot be deleted...
Don't worry, these folders hardly take up space...

So does not really hide a folder unless its not being used. Not that usefull really.

Titanium backup doesnt update

every time i try to update it, it shows insufficient memory. i have over 11 gb free. Any ideas?

Go into data/app and delete com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup.odex file.

How can I erase stuff on my external SD card

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.

You could even use the "My Files" app thats already on your phone

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:

Its the files you have deleted when using your phone. Just delete it, or all files in it.

Ok, so that means i can safely delete it, thanks. But is there any way to view those files?

They seems to be just renamed and moved after a system boot.
if you cant open it, they are probably binary files. if they where photos/music you could just open them I think.

I tried this method and it did not work. After flashing cm10.2 I have a problem with my internal memory space, I have about 220 mb free space but I don't have many apps on my phone, just a few ones and they are small. So I am searching for solutions and I deleted lost.dir that situated on my external SD. That was the only lost.dir that I found. Any suggestions?

CWM back ups/ where are they stored?

This might have a simple answer but I can't find the back up on my sd. But it is taking up sd card space :s
So where are the backups stored. I want to move it to my computer to save space .

Nobody knows? How do you guys upload backup zips(nandroid) then .

In folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

That's the first place I looked bro. There's no backup folder in clockworkmod, there's just a recovery_version file, that's 35 bytes small..

Connect your device with pc in usb storage mod ... then make the CWMR folder available (make it free) by using attrib command(CMD)...
