Help Does deleting backup files harm?

[hammadfaisal]

Hi,

I recently rooted my phone and installed Cyanogen Mod 7.1. My phone got locked and asked for activation, so I went to recovery mode and restored back to previous stock version. It is working fine, but my disk space has become low due to the backup file of my current stock version (2.2.1). Can I delete the backup files which is present in ClockWorkMod folder? Will it harm anything?

I am planning to install ICS rom to my HTC droid Incredible 2. So I will delete the backup files and again backup when it asks during the ICS installation. Will this be okay? Guys please help me regarding this.

It will not harm your phone to delete the backup files. With that said, if you only have the one backup file I would not delete it. You should always have one backup file on your SD card to go back to if a ROM install goes bad. Find something else to delete from your SD card to free up space.

Can I copy the backup files to my computer and paste it back whenever necessary? Will it be okay?

I have several different backups on my computer. But, I always like to keep one on my phone in case I need one when I don't have access to my computer.
