You can try this... worked smoothly for me.I want it OFF the system, for good, permanently. AND I WILL NEVER TOUCH THAT CRAP AGAIN. How do I get rid of Clockworkmod Recovery? Permanently delete it? Which files do I need to delete?
agreed... not to sound 'like a dick' but if you cant figure out CWM, then you shouldn't be messing with your device in such a way (root-related) over the years i've seen some different custom recoveries for devices and CWM has to be the most simplistic/easy to understand recovery ever made for a device lol, all you have to do is wipe and flash.. whats the reall issue here? do you actually have metro service? do you have root? do you have a preffered rom? do you have an sd-card? do you have a pc? LOL.. it's easy to get if you have all these requirements...why are you calling it crap??? it works perfectly as it was intended. So whats the issues with it?
Don't know what you talking about.As I do not flash ROM, CWR has been useless for me. It somehow got into my phone when I rooted the phone, and it had stayed there since then. It occasionally interrupted reboots and popped up during inconvenient timings. I've never found any use for CWR, so it's been like a factory pre-installed crapware, except CWR is even harder to be remove. I'd been wanting to get rid of it, but always gave up after awhile because the darn thing was like some sort of virus or malware that simply refused to go away. (I know it's not a malware, but it's been behaving like one with its persistence to stay in a system.)
I'm reselling the LG Esteem, that's why now I need to reset and and wipe the phone. I had unrooted and reset the phone, but CWR was extremely hard to remove, (but I finally got rid of it after a whole lot of hassles.) For me, CWR has been like a cockroach infestation that'd been extremely difficult to get rid of, and it has never done anything useful for me. CWR certainly has an ego, otherwise it should have offer an option to let users easily remove it from a phone.

cwm is not a app you can just uninstall. Its basically its own lil operating system. Its not all that different than the stock recovery except it has more functionality. There are several thread detailing how to installing the stock recovery back, as well as the original AIO root and CWM installer has a option to install stock recovery back. You can also restore your esteem back to stock using the LGPNST/tot or LG Tools/cab methods.As I do not flash ROM, CWR has been useless for me.

+1I sold mine last week on ebay for $205. Pretty sure that was a record for used LG Esteem.
I did research on ebay closing prices before listing my phone, and phones in clean uprooted stock condition generally fetch much higher prices than rooted phones. For secondhand LG Esteem, one in stock condition generally get over $150, while a rooted one does not usually get over $150.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 right now. Samsung has pushed two updates onto my phone since I got it on January 1, (a firmware update and the Jelly Bean update.) Everyone who had Clockwork Recovery on their S3 was having nightmares with the updates... The Samsung push updates do not play well with CWR. You guys can check the S3 forums.
what carrier?
how please!!Its not going to be as simple as deleting files, you'll need to reinstall the stock recovery.
