Hi, After using sultan's 6.0CMod ROM for quite a while I'm looking for something newer (perhaps RR's or something similar)
I want to completely delete my internal storage before installing and since int's been a long time since the last time I installed a new ROM from scratch I wanted to ask:
After deleting internal storage through TWRP's recovery, will my phone unroot/return to Cyanogen recovery?
If not: do I simply delete internal storage --> put the ROM file & GApps on the SD card --> go to recovery- wipe system,data etc --> install the ROM ?
or am I missing something
thanks

Why you want to clean internal storage?
Clean flashing doesn't needs cleaning of internal storage.

I've had issues with my internal storage being full. That being said, I was wondering if I can remove the rom (Beans Build 10) from my internal storage. Reminder, I have already flashed the rom and need to clear up storage, I have always been curious if I can remove the rom from storage after i have flashed it. Will there be any issues regarding performance/ stability by removing the rom from storage, or is the rom only needed on the device to flash?

You need a file manager like root explorer and navigate to storage/sdcard0/download and delete it. Well not affect performance but you won't have a fallback ROM to flash if something screws up.

No issues deleting it after you flashed. You should keep a copy of your ROM and a backup on external storage, microSD cards are dirt cheap and they can save your butt. It also allows you to do a full wipe which is recommended by many ROMs.
I have rooted my htc explorer and installed CWM successfully and moved my apps to SD card second partition. later my SD got corrupted and lost all my apps including playstore! as i am not even able to boot into CWM recovery i have installed TWRP and added new SD card successfully! but strangely even after having no apps at all in my phone i am only left with some 30 mb of internal storage! i am not sure whats occupying the internal storage! can some one suggest how to check whats eating my internal storage? thanks.

@eeswar which ROM you are using??? If it is RC4 then it is normal because RC4 will have only 30mb internal storage free
If you want to increase the internal storage then partition your SD card to (ext4)
and follow these steps LINK

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I am using stock rom only! I previously installed CWM recovery but its got vanished after SD corrupt. so now i have installed TWRP recovery and added a new SD. i didn't install any apps but available space is only 36mb which is suppose to be some 90mb! do you think this space occupied by previous and current recovery files?? if yes can you guide me how to remove old CWM recovery?
Thnaks,

Your internel memory is filled from bad blocks. U need to flash superwipe. Before flashing a rom if you want memory to be regained..
Use this zip file : Superwipe. Place it your sd card.. Then flash it.. Original creator is thewisenerd for this script..
First take a backup of your current rom using twrp.. Then flash superwipe.. Then again reboot to recovery.. Then restore your backup..

wiping data and reinstalling backup didn't help! i flashed a new custom rom and now i have more than 100mb.
Thanks,
Yesterday I decided to install the cm 14.1 for my one plus but there was a lot of junk in my phone so I wiped everything using twrp. And yes by everything,I mean even the internal storage . Now before someone says that you CAN'T WIPE THE INTERNAL STORAGE, IT'LL DESTROY THE PHONE. I have done it before so I know that's not the issue. So anyway I flashed the ROM and gapps but when I open the camera app it says "insert an SD card to continue". I can't download anything from the browser because of insufficient storage. But in setting it shows that only 5gb of storage is used out of 56 GB s.Any ideas?

Greetings and welcome to xda. Is this the rom you installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/cyanogenmod-14-0-t3464337
If it is I noticed this line it could be connected to your issue
It is recommended to use F2FS.
Recovery - Wipe - advanced wipe - Select internal card - FS options - Check F2FS and swipe.

Next time I go to flash a new custom rom I'm thinking of wiping internal storage just to really clean things out. Since I use my external SD card for TWRP to store backups etc... There's still the required TWRP directory on the internal storage which remains empty. If I wipe internal storage how will that effect that directory?

I don't know how that will affect the directory but I can tell you for sure it won't affect ROM installation. Every time I flash a new ROM, I always wipe internal storage and I haven't faced any problems.
It won't really effect it, unless you use themes or changed the stock configuration... those are the only things stored in the twrp directory of internal storage. You will notice the next time you start TWRP it will likely give you the warning screen about an unmodified system partition and ask you to allow changes.
Hi, I'd like to install a new ROM , but before that I want to completely erase my internal storage (because it contains alot of junk files and empty/unused folders - and I cannot tell these from the actual useful files&folders in my phone - thus I do not know what I can or cannot delete).
I've already backed up all my important files to my PC/cloud.
The thing is - if I used TWRP to delete internal storage - it would also erase everything else thus leaving my phone ROM-less and bootlooped and then I'll have to push the ROM through fastboot and I dont want to do that,
so my question is:
is it possible to delete internal storage and then proceed to installing a new ROM via TWRP and not fastboot?
thanks.

Erasing the internal storage through Twrp won't erase the twrp itself.You can still connect your device (when in twrp) to Pc and transfer stuff.Thus you can then flash a new rom and also copy anything else you want.
thanks, so what will it delete? everything above the root folder?

it will wipe everything on phone internel memory but system software will remain and twrp,so if u want to flash new rom u will need to put it back on internal memory
