[Q] Apps from older ROM still in SD card after flash

---

I flashed my i9000m from Stock ROM to a i9000 ROM, then to ICS (CM9). Everything works perfectly. No complaints. The only thing that bugs me is I still have 1GB left of space, when I have no access to the older apps that I had previously. Could they all be backed up somewhere?

I made sure to Data Wipe and Cache Wipe before installing ICS, before and after. Any ideas what I can do?

Thanks

Yup. I data wiped, but I guess that didn't work properly.

Any other way to remove excess apps? I don't know which is which using file manager.

By "Data Wipe" it means deleting files from /data, /system, /datadata, /cache and dalvik cache. Not Internal_SD and External_SD, as it not picks which file is used or which not.

If you want to clear EVERYTHING (all data on phone - to make as "just bought") you need to tick Repartition in Odin. That removes every piece of info on your phone.

simply do factory reset/format before doing any firmware update and after update, after update u can delete all sd-card files or do format it by going into setting sd options.
