Hi all, very quick an noobie question regarding deleting old backup.
In side /sdcard/clockwordmod/ I can see backup and blobs. I wanted to delete an old backup off my card, but it's only like 17MB? Meanwhile, inside the blobs I can see tonnes of data. What directory(ies) should I delete to get rid of a backup?

It's odd cos since I backed up, another gig or two was taken up on my SD card, so surely this 17MB thing isn't the actual backup?

 

Thanks, but my backup in there is the one that's only 17MB. It took ages to backup, so why is it so small? Does it actually contain all the backed up data?

 

ok, so this can't be it. I don't understand though, it took a good 15 minutes to back up and my card shows over a GB storage taken up compared to pre-backup.
So it's not stored in blobs???

 

Basically, before I did a backup I had no clockworkmod folder on my sdcard. Following a backup, one popped up and it has backup and blobs inside it. The backup folders contain 17MB data, the blobs, a lot more... made me think that perhaps the backup is an index that points to data in the other dir?

 

Hmm weird... OK thanks for the help. I'll try deleting and see what happens.

 

/mnt/sdcard

(well, both actually, since I have backups in both places right now... hence why I wanna delete one!)

 

Yeah that's what i was thinking. Just confused as to what the the blobs folder is as it contains a lot of data.

 

Likely!
