I was deleteing junk apps from sdcard/app_manager/app_backups/user_apps cause of tapjoy
And I realised my space was still less than before using tapjoy
So I deleted .DinerRush folder from sdcard. It took about 10 seconds and freed up .06 gb so I was concerned it wasn't something left over from a tapjoy game, but might have been important?

Anything in SDcard can be removed with the exception of clockworkmod folder unless you want no back.
I have so many folders in sdcard and I know some of the apps I use-use them, but what about the crap ones from junk apps that didn't clear out with an uninstall?

Remove them, if you want move everything to your PC.
Run your apps and see if anything is missing then find it and transfer it back.
Also you can just delete 1 by 1...it depends on how you want to go about it.
My PC has been down since Oct/Nov 2011, I was having fun with adb too
I did order a USB micro to female USB otg host. Maybe I can use that with flash drive

Can I remove them some how?i have root explorer so can I just go to system/app and delete them?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you have rooted your phone, you can do it with Titanium Backup. Just be extremely careful what you delete. I believe there is a list of safe things to delete floating around on the Cyanogen mod forum. Shouldn't be hard to find with inspector Google.
Bloatware would be anything that is not a stock android apk. Be careful not to delete anything that has to do with google or you will be sorry. I forgot the url but there is a master list of all the apks you can delete. Just google "android apk stock list"

Its probably best to just move the apks into a separate folder on your sd card rather than deleting them. The that way if you mess up you can just move it back into the correct directory. Or if you change your mind.

to the OP, I gave instructions in the sticky if you want something to reference. I agree with ^, I used Root Explorer to copy all of the files and then pasted them in a folder on my SD card. Then went back to system apps and deleted them, rebooted, good to go. I also gave a list of everything that could be deleted.
Samsung galaxy sgs2
Samsung GS2 GT19100
Hey guys Im sorry if this is not supposed to be here, But I really need some advice.
I just recently bought a SGS2 in Canada with Bell Mobility and I was able to root my phone so that I could unlocked it. However Since I did this every time I turn on my phone I get a Yellow Triangle with and exclamation mark. and also this mark is on the top left corner of my home screen but very tiny. Now the phone works like a charm nothing is wrong, but I want to know if there is some way I can remove that from my power up screen and from the home screen?
And my last questions would be, Now that I have unlocked my phone can I unroot it? or will this locked my phone again?
Thanks .

+1 Op this is probably the best way to do it. Plus if you ever need to put the apks back, all you got to do is move them back, wipe dex and cache and reboot.
One thing that I usually do is use TBPro to freeze it first and see if there are any adverse effects. Did you know that gTalk works with the market? If you delete gTalk, you may see some wierdness with the market. If you just froze it, then you can thaw it out and move on.
My question is can we delete the odex files singly or do they have to be deleted in pairs with the apk?
Ok gotta question for all ya geniuses here...
Can I back up apps and data from my rooted samsung infuse through tibu and then take sd card out and stick in prime and restore through tibu to mirror what I have on the ole 4g?
Sorry if this makes no sense but seems logical to me.

Yes you can but this is what I had to do to get it to work. I had to install tibu and then copy all the files and drop them in the newly created tibu folder that was installed after the app was installed. I haven't had any problems installing the ones that I have installed.

Ok great. Will try this when I get home. Maybe just plug both into my laptop simultaneously and transfer through win exp. No need to remove sd cards. Lol. Makes sense.
Thanks

I cannot get into my sd card. Can't look at my gallery, can't get there in file explorer however I can see and interact with it in root explorer.
I'm on cm7

Honestly sounds like permissions error, as you can only access it with root explorer... or the files are "hidden". Sounds like someones been tweaking lol. When did the plroblem arise?
Cyanogenmod

Last week. I was giving my phone a makeover. Trying out some new themes and launchers. Aside from messing with a couple radio values I haven't done a thing to the code in a long while; and even then I could access everything.
However I did wipe my card of the non essentials (music, random pics and apps) as I'm beginning yo use more cloud services. That is the only significant interaction between me and the SD card.

Ok quick question. On my sd card is a folder called "android". Inside is a folder called data and inside here looks like app data. My question is can i delete this folder cas it takes up 6gb.
Reason im asking is before on old rom i had moved all apps to sd card but after new rom i installed all apps to phone mem instead. So now not sure if this folder is from now or if its all my old app data from before. Unmount of sd card and my apps still work which makes me beleive its ok to delete but thought id ask u gurus first before i cause major problems.

Some applications store data in there, for example the Amazon appstore caches all your APKs there, I believe Google Maps' cache is there, etc. In *general*, it's fine to delete it but just be advised you may actually lose some data/settings you don't know about. If you're cool running all your apps with the SD card unmounted, I don't see why it would cause you any major grief.
Well basically yeah figured that. Now if i delete it and i lost sum app data cant i just use tibu and restore it ?? That way i get of the junk...???

I doubt it, I don't think TiBu backs up the stuff on the SDCARD, but I could be wrong about that. I've only used it one or twice
Any input from anyone else before i try this ? The whole idea is to try and clean some space off of my already small sscard. Just didnt think i had 6gb worth of apps and thinking it came from before when i moved everything to sdcard. thats why im asking the question in my OP.

You could always duplicate the folder on your pc, delete it entirely from your sd, and see what happens. Run it for a few days, and try out all of the apps you regularly use. If all hell breaks loose, you could just put it back on your sd and delete portions more selectively.

Please report back as I'm interested in this as well
Worked great. Copied folder to my pc then deleted it off my sd card. Restarted phone and ultimatly it made a new android folder. All apps still work. Freed a bunch of space. Foind out Basically that folder contains all the data from games and any apps that may need "downloaded content". So dont delete it unless you feel like downloading all this data over again.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2
I'm glad it worked out.
I'm curious. Considering it re-downloads data, is the size of the new folder considerably smaller?

Well for me yes cas i think i had app files somehow from an earlier rom. Im not saying you will too im just talking about my situation so id be careful just in case.

I've been trying to clear up space but I cannot for the life of me find the bulk of the data being taken up! Rom toolbox doesn't know, I can't find anything large in the file explorer...and my system is telling me this:
Thanks guys if you can help

Your storage settings is missing the category "misc". If you had that category it would tell you. Have you tried using a good file explorer like "Root Explorer" to examine the folders on your internal SD card? Possibly something in a hidden folder that you are not seeing.
Apps might say 2.43GB but the data they are using could be much larger. Such as gameloft games and GPS navigational apps.

By the way I've soever the problem through the help of an app known as SD maid!! I was searching Google for a solution and found an article on lifehacker that claimed this app would totally suit my needs.
I've found that over the course of a year of gameloft apps, really dumb games I hated..and worthless apps that I've deleted, remnants were left behind, more specially, their data.
I highly suggest to anyone who is looking to clear up space use this app, it makes it clear what to delete!
