Help, Formatting sd card

[jonlutz217]

This may not be neccessary, but I really want to format the sd card on my phone. I will pull out the important files and some media I want and have them backed up on my computer. However, I have downloaded so many roms, updates, and stupid applications that I barely know half the crap when going through my files. Even after deleting applications they leave info behind and i feel like my phone has really slowed down from all this junk. My question is basically is this safe on a rooted phone? my thought is if i delete the cm7 file (which is the rom im currently using) then how would my phone possibly be able to keep running cm7? Should i sbf and then do a formatting? any help is much appreciated.

Go ahead and format...just be sure to do a backup of the rom and save it to your computer before formatting

Btw, please don't cross post...post in one thread and one only...I'm sure a moderator will come by and lock one of your posts

yeah my bad I wasn't sure if posting in those two different sections was ok or not. but i can do that and have a back up but then how will that work? would i not have to reflash the rom? and if so how could i get into clockwork cuz i assume that would disapear with a format as well?

Clockworkmod is flashed on the phone itself so it remains after formatting the sdcard (actually it can format the sdcard itself lol)

Also the rom should automatically put anything it needed back on the sdcard after formatting

thank you for all of the help. i seriously suggest anyone who flashes roms and themes a lot to do this. my phone is flying now!!! i can even get the sense previews from adw to appear without any glitching, which ive never been able to do before!

If you've made backups it will be on your sd card in the clockworkmod recovery folder.
