Full wipe means all data of previous rom you have installed to be wiped clean. All other things like on your sdcard still stays intact. Apps of course get deleted as you put your phone bk to factory settings. That is why is always best to backup your apps with Titanium backup.

Whenever you wipe. Do a factory reset. Wipe cache. Go advanced wipe delvik cache as well as battery. This is a complete wipe and your sdcard contents will stay intact as long as you dont say wipe sdcard.
As for titanium backup works well when you stay on Gingerbread Roms but you gonna pick up problems if you restore apps in ICS when coming from GB. My suggestion download fresh ones.

Hiya guys I'm trying to update my rom, but I need to do a full wipe including formatting, I don't have access to a pc at the mo and am getting system crash even after selecting wipe in mobile Odin before flashing. So how do I perform a full wipe without having to use pc Odin?

Using cwm
Format cache, system, data, sdcard
Wipe dalvik.

Try to do a hard reset by dialing the code *2767*3855# into your phone.
This will wipe your sd card.
But I am not sure if it is a "real" formatting.
Ok guys thanks for your replies, I don't want to wipe the sdcards as that's where all my backups are, will give it a go tomorrow, cheers.

If I wipe everything other than sdcards, how am I supposed to update or install a new rom or do i do I just reinstall the mobile Odin via play store?

Make up your mind first.....
You want clean slate, I told you how
Sdcard= internal storage (stock)
You need PC to flash stock ROM on a clean slate.
You can try flashing cwm zip ROM also, but sometimes it won't work, if that happens you have to use Odin.
Some files for system apps are kept on the internal SD card, thus causing the force closes.
I recommend you copy everything of value and your backups out of the internal SD card, then doing the SD card format and reflashing again. Then you can copy everything back into the SD card after you confirm it works fine.
Ok best to wait til I can get hold of a pc then. Thanks again.

Just out of curiosity...I was wondering as to why when I install a new custom ROM, wipe my phone, cache etc.. my pictures and launcher backups aren't deleted?
Is this pure luck and should consider moving my internal data to my external?

That's because it only formats the data partition (like your apps and stuff).
I am on CM10 preview. Rooted and CWM Recovery.
I want to reset my phone because I got some messed up folders on internal SD card.
If I use the Factory Data Reset from settings, does that remove root/recovery/whole ROM.
Is it safe to use??

No it wil not erase everything, superwipe however wipes the whole intenal sd card. Just do a factory reset and reboot, root and the rom will not be wiped.
Just want to know if u have a backup saved on ur internal memory and u then flash a new Rom and wipe everything, will the backup still be saved or will it be deleted

When you wipe from a custom recovery, you only wipe data and not the internal SD
