How to wipe clean internal card (rooted)

[octavia]

I have a rooted Captivate so I don't want to accidentally delete something important. Is there an easy way to clean the content of both cards?

any file manager will do. if you browse folder by folder and only delete files you recognize as no longer needed, that is safest.

you might try SD Maid by XDA developer Darken. you can find it on google play, or in the Android apps forum on xda. you can scrub app data, find corpses, etc.

there are some apps that use the sdcard and if you wipe your internal sd card, they may stop working.

assuming you are running GB or later OS : if you go to settings, apps menu and select the sdcard tab, you can see which apps are on the internal sdcard and move them back to internal storage, if desired. you can also look at details of each app and see which ones store data on the sd.

SD maid is a pretty cool app. Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to clean up my Captivate.
