Rom manager

[Droid DOES!!]

+1 for reboot. Any file manager app should access that folder since its on your sd instead of a system file. Is there also a ROM Manager folder on your sd? I don't use it either.

Droid Does is one of the "real experts" I was referring to.

Just checked and its just a clockworkmod folder. Try Androzip to delete the nandroid backup there. Has always worked for me. Let me know though.
Mike, I dunno about all that

I have never had a problem deleting my backups using astro or root explorer. Weird. The only thing I use rom manager for is to flash clockwork if something goes goofy. Other than that I rename them in astro aswell.

Same here. I flashed CW ONLY to wipe my battery stats for my extended battery. Am now back on SPRecovery

I did reboot and the folders still exist. They are in the /clockwork/backup on the sd card. I have tried other file managers with no success but I haven't tried Androzip or, as I said, installing the sd in a computer. I plan on doing that tomorrow but I think I will try Androzip tonight. I guess since the folders are empty they are a big deal since they are using little room on my sd but it's the principle.

I am still have not found any way to delete the reference to three RM backup folders. The folders are empty and I was able to move them to another folder on the card so they aren't showing up in RM under my backups. I even went so far as to remove the sd card from the phone and plug it into a card reader atteched to my PC. Windows will not remove them and shows some garbage in each folder. So I am backing up the sd card and then I am going to reformat the card and then reinstall the files from the backup minus the folders in question. Oh well, live and learn.

What three folders are you referring to? I believe that RM/CW use the ClockWorkMd folder to store backups made via CW and downloads of roms and themes via RM. Since RM does allow you to flash SPR it creates the recovery-0-99.3.img folder.

I am referring to the three folders in sd/clockwork/backup that were old backups I made using RM. As I said earlier I have been following the Cyanogen Nightlies and making backups along the way. After a few days I delete the oldest ones. I had three that would not delete.

 

[mwhartman]

Thanks for the clarification. I believe that ClockWorkMod (the parent folder) has two subfolders, backup and download. I believe you should be able to delete files from either without any issues. Of course, you need to keep at least one good backup in the backup folder.

I'm not a user of RM/CW so I'm unable to advise what created or why you are not able to delete the three files. Sorry!

Let us know if you figure a way to delete.

I finally had to resort to formatting the sd card from windows with it plugged into a USB card reader. I tried the format command in recovery but it left the folders on the card. I really do not know what happened and I would like to find out.

 

[mwhartman]

I don't blame you for wanting to know. Perhaps the folks on the IRC can shed some insight for you. Here is the link freenode Web IRC (qwebirc).

Yeah, that's weird. I've always been able to just delete the backups in a file manager. I don't make backups with ROM Manager though, I make them in recovery.

I agree. I predume some files in the folders got corrupted and were screwing with the file managers. I will try the IRC when I have some time. Thanks for everyones input.

That's why we're here
Let us know what you find out though, if you don't mind.
