a couple days ago i used titanium backup to backup all my apps since i was getting tired of searching and redownloading all my apps when flashing roms..but since ive done that..i cant download any apps or restore any roms. All my storage space is now full. Is there a way to erase the backups i did with titanium and get that storage space back?

Yea if your sure you want to delete the backups . Den you just need to delete the titanium backup folder in your internal memory. Use solid explorer to do so.

it wont let me..i need to update solid explorer and when i try it says insufficient storage..i dont even have any apps downloaded..i have literally uninstalled everything i could to make space
 
You can delete the backups with titanium backup it self the options are there. Click on the check mark on the top right scroll down , you can get rid of em all or just some.
 
i would recommend using astro file manager to perhaps delete the backup...and i have used titanium backup and i do not like it. Rom toolbox is a much better tool and has more tools also such as terminal emulator, fonts, overclocking and underclocking and themes in it coupled with an attractive interface. It backs up app data also if you choose to.

That's weird, try cleaning your app store cache from application management it will ask you for your. Google login again, . Also double check from setting security if you have unknown. Source check to install third party apps, good Luck

Any previous backup you can try? Or flash your current rom, from scratch see if that works, or might have to format internal storage but that's after you've exceeded all of your options.
 
Whenever I have this problem it is usually because my app is downloading to a directory that noblonger exists. Say like when you were on a non 4.2 rom and your browser is set to download to a certain directory. When you flashed 4.2 rom and it changes your directory, then the directory no longer exist. This is why you can restore an app but not its data with titanium backup when going from 4.1 to 4.2. I would suggest reinstalling the rom fresh and this time the apps fresh also.

Oh so you got that annoying insufficient storage available?? Ok wen I just to get that error. You can use this , since your able to get onto solid explorer . Go ahead and open up your browser search for , app cache cleaner apk , lucky patcher apk and not enough space apk download those 3 apps after done downloading you shud find dem in interior storage/Downloads den use Solid Explore to move each of dem to system/app folder , you gotta do it like that manually cus I'm assuming you can't install apps lol
Anyway move dem den reboot den wen wen you come back use cache cleaner to delete cache of apps den use lucky patcher press menu button hit troubleshoot den remove fixes and back ups reboot if that didn't fix it. Use the last app which is, not enough space . use carefully to move big apps cache.
