Can TiB be cleaned up? After backing up with different roms and backing up apps an so forth I beleive some of my problems with my phone could be due to that. This morning I backed up my entire sd card on the pc and then started deleteing things. Pictures, files, nand backups, etc. and I gained a lot of space on the sd card. So I'm thinking the internal memory needs cleaned up now. I also beleive things are getting crossed up with all the crap that's been backed up with TiB. Also if I reformat the sd card does the phone put the nessary files back on it?
 
Can TiB be cleaned up?
i think so... i think you could go down your backup/restore list and delete a bunch of things you dont want. you could also prolly delete the titanium backup file(after making sure all the apps you want are on your phone :eek:) and then do a new batch backup. there may be a batch that will automagically delete the things you dont have running and re-back up the things that are... ill hafta check that out.

Also if I reformat the sd card does the phone put the nessary files back on it?
yup. that it will. just copy the files that you want back on it to your pc,BC(hehe :p.pics,ringtones,or whatever) then reformat and move the ones you want back. put it back in your phone and it will put all the ones it needs back. it may take some time for the apps that had made files and were using them to remake them and function smoothly,i guess... but it shouldnt be too big a deal

i replace the 2gb:)eek:) card in my inc with a 16gb and thats all i did... copied ringtones folder,notifications folder,pics,nandroid(very important,lol... put tne nandroid folder back or you wont have any backups! :eek:),and IIRC the titanium backup folder(tho you might not wanna if you want to freshen it up) and the beautiful widgets skins folder. formatted the card,moved those files back,and stuck it in the phone :)

i did back up the entire SD card just in case,but i dint need to go back to any of it cause something was missing or not working.
