On the internal SD card, I see a directory called "App_Manager". Inside, it has a directory called "App_Backups" and that has two directories called "system_apps" and "user_apps".
Is this safe to delete? It looks like backups of all my applications.
Thanks!

I believe this folder is created with ROM Toolbox. I safely removed mine. I noticed it only added the apps if I modified them in anyway, i.e deleting one.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out what was creating this directory and updating.
That cleared out over 250mb of files for me!

You can also delete Backups within Rom-toolbox :
Rom Toolbox-> (Tools-Tab) -> App manager
-> Menu-button -> Batch-> (Delete Backups-Tab) -> Delete all backups
Prevent Rom Toolbox from automatically creating Backups for new app-installments :
Rom Toolbox-> (Tools-Tab) -> App manager
-> Menu-button -> Settings -> Uncheck Automatic Backup
greets, wolf
thanks all!!! i moved these backups to my ext sdcard...saves me about 1.7 gigs from my internal storage card. yeah, i know...what can i say, i'm an app junkie

HI ALL,
I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO REDUCE UR INTERNAL MEMORY!!
Things U NEED:
A ROOTED PHONE!!!!
1 - Install Root Explorer or any application that can enables you to see and modify root files.
2 - Go to /data/log
3 - Select and delete all files
4 - Go to /cache in /data
5 - Select and delete all .apk files
Every time an app crashes, Gingerbread creates an error log file that's about 250 kB and stores it in the internal memory. Moreover, every time a download fails in the android market, the corrupted .apk file is stored in the internal memory.
Of course, to save more place, move all apps to the SD, including the ones that are stated as "non-movable" by app2sd (methods discussed in other topics).
Good Luck!!
Also you can go into /data/local and delete the copy of apks already present in /system/app
It saved me 30mb
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
/data/log was like 700kb
both other locations were empty anyways.
was worth a try :-D but with Link2SD i don't worry about space anymore anyways...

It will only mess up your phone and put it into boot loop mode!

I would think it be better to partion the sd card and either use Link2sd or Int2Ext script. Messing with files could cause a brick if you delete the wrong ones.
The copy of apps in data/local i dunno why they are there.
Deleted them all, got like 25mb worth of internal memory back, that was 2 months ago, no problems or bugs so far.
Anyone knows why there are copies of apps in data/local?
CWM eating lots of space on my External SD card.
Since I flashed custom ROM, I always use to take backup before upgrading to new version or when ever needed but I don't need all of them I need just current backup.
I have following folder in
Clockworkmod folder
---backup ----StockROM (2GB) ----LatestROMNexus5 (17mb)----blobs (4.14GB)
See attachment. I gess the blobs folder having junk files.
Can anyone help me to delete unwanted files from CWM?

As long as you're absolutely positive you don't need the it, you can always use a file manager like Solid Explorer to delete redundant backups, zips,etc.
I suggest you make a copy of the blobs folder to your root directory, then copy to your computer as a back up.
Then slowly delete files one at a time see what each does to your phone till your blobs folder is empty, it maybe time consuming but you will not lose any important files.
Any good file explorer will allow to delete files.
Look at a post by "D3VIOUS".He explains what to do/not to do.
Youll find it by searching for "blobs".
Its a new feature in cwm6.
Blobs folder contains ALL your backups!
Choose the "Free unused backup data" in recovery, should only delete the unused stuff but maybe worth backing up just in case. Personally this blobs malarkey started to annoy me so I just changed the default backup file type back to tar files (also in recovery).

Hello,
I recently got bored with my old ROM on my GIII so I installed a couple new ones today. On the final one I tried I no longer have a single Titanium Backup file on my SD card. All restore items show 0. I know these all worked and existed because I restored them earlier on in the day and all was well. I then installed my current ROM and nada.
My question isn't about getting these files back as its apparent they are gone (super sad), I double checked the sd card in windows and the only thing is all my pictures/videos and a single file for TB for the license. My question is is, will this occur in the future again? Do people have flaky luck with Titanium Backup? Each of the rom installs were done the same way, boot into recovery, delete data/cache, install from SD etc. I did it the same way both times. I just dont want to get burned again because whats the point of even backing stuff up right?
Has anyone had luck with the Cloud feature on Titanium Backup, does this work??
Thanks.
Did you flash an aosp/cm Rom? If so they are probably hidden down in sd/0...... if you have Phil's recovery fire up the aroma file manager and move then to root of sd card (move the whole folder)
---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------
Edit that.....normal file manager will do, I thought you were stuck in recovery/no access to nandroid, just realised it's titanium backup your after....same might apply if you were on 4.2.x or cm/aosp

Same thing happened to me.
Where did the backup go?!?!? Was it backed up on the phone and not on the SD card? That would be dumb!
The TitaniumBackup folder on the SD card is EMPTY and the "detect" found no backup files
SUPER SAD, I lost ALL phone numbers!!!

After a install of new rom TIBU shows all backups in verify, I have restore file from ext sd card but restore missing apps shows zero. Have used tibu a long time and never had this problem.

that means that all that's backed up is installed
Hey, guys!! I love Titanium Backup Pro. It works amazingly well every time I flash to a new ROM. I also like to restore my user apps and date via the "update.zip" option in Titanium Backup. Now, every time I create the update.zip file, it's by default placed in /storage/sdcard0/. I have searched and searched through the preferences of the app and I can't find an answer to this question: Is it possible to change the default path of where the update.zip is placed when it's created? Namely, I'd like to have it created/placed right to a specific folder on my SD card located at /storage/extSdCard/Backup/.
Any feedback/answers/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
I see no option like this unless I too have over looked it. I'd say that after creating the update.zip you'll have to manually move it to your desired location.

Going into preferences, then backup folder location, then clicking on detect won't let you do that?

No. That's where I can choose where to backup my apps to but I can't find where to choose where to place the update.zip file that's created when I zip up my current app backups.
Personally I've deleted a couple unnecesary apps that were wasting space, and intend to make Chrome an option for Dual Window again as soon as I figure out how (it was removed, I believe in 11b, and the flex multi window mod is unable to enable it).
As more things occur to me, I'll do more things. What do you all plan to do?
So far, I've only installed greenify and titanium backup.. I'm honestly trying to figure out what else I want to do (been out of the root scene for about a year and a half between this and my old turbo, which didn't receive root until the time I got my v10)

It's cause you already have backups stored. Double check your SD card files.

It's either the LG Backup folder in your SDCard or the TitaniumBackup folder. Otherwise I would scan your SDCard.

Tried editing to enable dual window with buildprop editor, rebooted into a bootloop. Recovery has the option to enable USB debugging. Using this, is it possible to undo the change in (for example) terminal emulator, rewriting the original line? That way I wouldn't have to factory reset. I already tried wiping the cache (wasn't expecting it to work, but it seemed harmless).
