Hello to everyone.
I am a newbie with Android, and I understand now that to erase the application data I have first to delete the data from the button "delete data" and then I have to uninstall the application.
If I uninstall any app without erasing the data first, the data remains in SD Card.
How do I delete the application data now that I uninstalled long ago?

the "delete data" deletes the info stored in /data, not /sdcard. If you want to deleted info on your card, all you need is a file explorer, go find the folder your app uses, and delete the folder.
Same problem

Grab a cache cleaner like "cache cleaner ng" from the market and run it. Also after you uninstall an app you have to delete the corresponding folder that the may place on your sd.

See, now that's garbage. Reminds me of the old windows days where programmers were like, ''It's not our duty to fully clean up our folders when a user installs our program. It's our job to remove the program, not the files and folders added by the program.''
It's better now, but some programmers still do that. Grrrrrrr.....
Try sd maid in the market.

Just rooted, installed superuser, ran a full titanium backup. Then started clearing out some apps and accidentally removed 2 instances of clock 1.0 (why are there 2?). I thought it was just the widgets, but apparently it was the whole app/alarm clock etc. I go into titanium backup, find the app, click restore data+app, and it just gets stuck on the restoring screen. I've tried a few times, rebooted the phone, and it'll stay there for 10+ minutes. What's going on? Should I try a different method?
If it makes a difference, the backup file is currently just on my phone. I have no sd card yet so I just backed it up on my phone and was going to transfer to computer/sd card when I get it.
Really? Anyone?
If it helps I now have an sd card and transferred the titanium backup onto my cpu as well.
Copy clock.apk there manually.

Need help still.I downloaded an app installer and downloaded two different apps one package one just clock..neither install using the installer. not sure if my issue is with using the installer since its a sys file or wrong apps.... Never done this before so don't know how compatibility works and everything

Use Root Explorer. Go to the file you backed up, copy it (you may have to unzip it first), click the back button until you see only a "/" in the upper left, the click on system, then app, hit the Mount R/W button on the upper left and paste it. Reboot and you should be good to go...
If not, you may have to set permissions, but I find that they are usually good by default.

Ok I'm using ES File Explorer (since its free). I found three clock related entries in titanium backup. They all begin with com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.****
one is .apk, one is .properties, one is .tar. Since I'm unsure of what I uninstalled (2 instances of clock 1.0 shows up as being removed in titanium) I tried copying all 3. Using ES I selected all three, copy to, system, app, paste. No other apps showed up under system>app. Not sure if this is standard when copying to or if that means theres an issue. Anyway after trying to move the files, each came up as failed to copy.
In the app also if I just click on one item, such as the .apk, it will load a screen with a clock icon asking if I want to install. That fails as well.
Im having trouble working out a solution to ES File Explorer regarding rar files. I want to used a different program to manage these types of files. I cant remove the app as its part of the ROM. Any ideas
Can't you delete it from /system/app then?
Don't delete system files without making backups first!
You can install another file manager to open rar files with, and if needed clear the "Launch by default" settings for ES in the phone's settings/application manager menu.
You can also freeze ES in Titanium Backup (it's safer than removing it) which will render it unusable by the phone and also remove it from your app drawer.
Hope this helped?

thanks for the reply, have tried all of the above. Install new app dosnt work I cant change the default settings they are blocked out. And freezing dosnt work
Im guessing I will have to install the ROM again and Im hoping there is an opyion to not install ES
wow quickly dropped to page 13, so I guess Im doing the rom again and not selecting the program. Anyone else have any ideas?
When trying to update Titanium Backup through Play Store it fails telling me that theres no more space left. However 9 GB of internal and 3 GB of external SD card are still free. Other applications (even bigger ones) install fine. I cleared Dalvik cache but without success.
What causes this error and how to solve it?
Is your device GS3? 9GB of internal?
Is it important how did i send this?
Try to remove current TB & then install the newer version
Is it important how did i send this?
I uninstalled TB and now I can't install it again with the same error.
I still have 9 GB free on phone and 3 GB on microSD.

I experience the same. Hmm.
i had this problem yesterday when updated my firmware, most of my apps had to be reinstall. there is one app, UCCW, i had to reinstall through google play and it keeps telling me i have insufficient memory.
To fix this i had to uninstall, use root explorer find the folder of the app and deleted it if it still there and reinstall. viola it works.

I think i have posted a fix a lot of times for the same problem..see if this works for you.. open root explorer..it works only if you are rooted.. open data.. then open apps.. then try to find if there is any odex file related to titanium backup. It mite be named titanium keramidas.odex or something like that.. delete it.. then install titanium again..
Using Root Explorer, go to /data/app and delete the file named Titanium.odex
Now everything should work normally..

Had same problem and did pretty much same as chillz said above, I store backups on pc so I just moved mine from phone to pc.

I got this problem when I used lucky patcher to patch the previous Titanium backup app and uninstalled it but xxx.odex still file left(may be name "com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex" . Use Root explorer then go to /data/app and find that file then delete it,I think you should install Titanium Backup again.

So i rooted my phone and installed an app called "Uninstall" that deletes the bloatware and it worked... until I powered it off then on and then I saw the bloatware return. I even tried different apps to get rid of the bloatware with no luck. Please help
Just flash a Rom. All the work is already done for you.

What good is a rooted phone if you don't have either titanium backup or ROM toolbox pro? Either one of those apps will do the trick if you'd like to remain stock. I personally have used ROM toolbox pro for years and prefer it over titanium backup because of it's UI which makes it more user friendly

Ok, I'm not exactly sure how the internal file system is set up as I've yet to receive my M8 but if it's anything like the previous android file systems (which I'm guessing is the case), you can use a file explorer (root explorer, ES explorer, Astro explorer) to navigate to /system/app. You may have to switch R/O to R/W within the file explorer depending on which file explorer you choose to make changes to the internal card. Within the /system/app folder, you'll see all the system apks. BE VERY CAREFUL to NOT delete things you are not absolutely positively sure about. Deleting the wrong app may render your device useless so do be careful. If you do not see the bloat apks you're looking for, navigate back to the internal root directory and search for /data/app. Here is where the other apks should be stored. Perhaps the file system is a little different but i've used 4.4.2 on several different phones and it has been the same structure.

Yes, do a backup in TWRP prior to deleting anything. This way if you do manage to screw something up, you can get back to where you were :good:

I've used root explorer for years and I'm having the same problem. things are deleted and return upon reboot. I'm taking the earlier advice and installing a custom rom.

That is bizarre. Can't say I've ever encountered that. Custom Romage it is then. I'll need to hold off until a full stock restore with associated flag removals is an option
I had the same issue.. rooted my phone, downloaded an app hider and solved my issue, kinda.
xda user eyeamgreg managed to debloat and he was nice enough to shed some light on how he accomplished this. He said he s-OFFed, used cleaner master and for the apps cleaner master wouldn't remove, he used titanium backup. It appears that with s-ON, the apps will reappear upon deletion. If this works for ya, make sure you spank his thanks button

It might be because you can't write to the system partition, even with root. Flash this kernel over stock and you should be able to delete system apps, even with S-ON http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705074
