Clearing my SD Card

[badogg]

So after all these apps and Rom flashes and everything, I've noticed that my SD card is bloated with left over directories and files and such. Is it ok to just copy the content of the SD Card to my computer, then format it as Fat 32, then put it back in the phone and everything will be fine?

I'm just cautious as to what the Rom's might be putting on it, and what the nandroid backups are going to do if they are moved.

Just trying to be careful, thanks!

The only things that would get messed up would be rom manager backups ( copy them back into the correct folder after you put it back into the phone) titainum backups, any apps you install to SD.

I do this every few months myself. i hate all the bloat

I believe anything leftover on your sdcard would be typically from apps not roms. In regards to copying your sdcard contents, just copy everything onto your pc, reformat, then paste it all back on. As always, be careful and delete only what you know is in excess or no longer used.

You'd be fine.

Will work as long its formatted in the phone after youve erased your card

I had the same issue but I somehow deleted Gvoice and Gtalk and now can't download from market. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated, its been days and I'm dying over here ={

weird. I'd reflash the ROM..

I tried something different recently.
After cleaning up my SD card, and reloading different ROM and stuff, I removed my card and put it into my PC. Then using Perfect Disk, ran "Smart Placement" then "Consolidate Free Space" I have no data to back up the speed feeling. The file access just seems a little snappier.

Yeah I flashed the ROM and Gapps back and everything was fine. Thanks ^_^
