ClockworkMod using 3.8gb of storage space

Hi everyone

I have had low storage space since adding a few roms to it. I added all these to my external sd card so not sure why they are on there.

After moving every app i can to my sd card, this is what takes up the most space on my sdcard (internal)

Clockworkmod 3.8gb
Android 3.4gb
DCIM 1.4gb (Photos)
Appsaver 600mb
download 300mb

So the top 2 are the main issue how can i remove these?

I have installed 3 different Roms and always wiped everything that should be done x3 everytime a new install goes in


Edit

Ok figured out clockworkmod was 2 Nandroid backups i made, so have moved these to external card (then moved to pc)

But what is in the download section of clockworkmod?

And the android folder has a data folder and looks like backup of apps, would this be ok to remove too?

I really just want to reflash the whole phone and then clean install of a Rom, can this be done?

If you want a totally fresh install, you can completely format both internal and external SD cards if you really want to. Its better to do this from the storage menu rather than via windows.
After this, boot up into CWM then:
factory reset
format /system
(or run GS2 ROM Nuke )
flash your rom

Bear in mind the following before you format internal/external SD cards:

1. you would need to backup any music/photos/personal stuff etc. if required
2. consider your clockworkmod backups. keep at least one just in case
3. consider where Titanium stores your backups. Keep this if you want to restore your apps

As for this "download" folder you have within clockworkmod, that shouldnt be there. All it should have is a backup folder, and some hidden touch files.
 
Thanks, downloaded your NUKE zip file and deleted everything that needs to be done. Fresh new install too. And lots of clean space.

Many Thanks
