Hey fellas,

So I am super OCD about my SD card, and saving things in general...to help set my mind at ease, I have a question..

once a .zip is flashed into my phone, does the file need to still sit on my SD card, or can I deleate it off w/out any reprucussions? examples would include..

-superuser zip file
-any theme I fash in
-kernel .zip file after flashing...

etc.

thanks again!

any of those types of zip file once they are flashed you do not need them anymore. however, i would keep at least one zip file of a rom you like for emergency purposes. that way if anything goes wrong you have a go to rom already on your card.

i also only keep 2-3 nandroid backups as well. anymore then that will just take up that much more room on the card.
 
thanks again, boss! I figured I would keep the ROM, just in case, same for the backup..just wasnt sure if i needed all of that other "junk" floating around.
 
I would suggest keeping your favorite ROM, Kernel, and the Superwipe file on the SD card at all times so that you have a go-to in case of emergency

You should be flashing Superwipe before flashing ROMS each time, so theres no point in deleting it off of there.
 
thanks man...something I will consider! shouldnt the nandroid cover that?...or does it just backup my apps, data, etc
