How do I uninstall/delete a stock ROM from my Nexus 5

Then how can I possibly clear up my storage. I only have 1.17gb apps, 110mbmb, 1.27gb audio, 195MB downloads, 4.78mb cached data, 416mb misc. That can't possibly be 16gb

Hi

Is there a nandroid backup of the stock rom there? It would be a really big dated folder I think. If so you should back it up to a pc before deleting it. (A nandroid backup is like a image of the entire phone which allows the phone to be restored to its previous state. It should have been made before cyanogenmod was flashed to the phone.

Install an app called diskusage which gives a graphical view of memory use - its good for spotting big files.

I did make a backup of the phone before cyanogenmod. But I don't recall putting the nandroid backup on my PC. The only other place it could be is the phone correct?

 

Hi

It is always created on the phone or sd card and has to be moved to be of use if you have no sd card otherwise it may well be stuck on a phone that won't boot - the reason for having it! So yes, it may be in your phone storage.

Have a look with the app I mentioned - it show's system folders as well and big files are easy to spot.

What would it be called?

 

I also cannot even find a folder by the name of nandroid. Even under the folder clockworkmod since that's the custom recovery I have. Please help fast!
