Installing new rom phone does not seem to wipe..

---

OK been doing this rom stuff since the captivate. But as I remember (whitch may be wrong) I thought a factory/data reset in CWM wipes the phone. As in every time in install a new rom(latest infuse 2.1) using full version and doing factory data reset all my files on internal memory are still present. I.E. the photos and app. folders..

Yes sorda newb question .

You need to factory reset your phone,or format your SD card to get that done bro

Done the factory reset in the phone under privacy.. never removes any files or folders .. just acts like the day I got it with having to run setup. But folders are still present. should I check that box after selecting. Says for external storage.

In regards to wiping all of the folders and such, you would need to unmount and format the sd card to remove all of that.

Factory Resetting only resets the OS and files related to that, which is why you are able to do it without losing any of your pictures, music, etc.

Yes it does! Ok I tested it for you and yes check the USB storage that will do the trick. Erases all.
