Need help deleting TWRP folder

[PCPCaddyman]

Good morning. My issue sounds simple enough but it is driving me insane!! I am trying to delete my TWRP backup folder. Tried es file explorer.....root explorer. .....hooked phone up to my laptop and tried deleting that way but nothing works. I can remove any other folder/file but this one. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Try navigating to the folder through system/storage/ then either extsdcard or sdcard0 the to the twrp folder and delete it. Sometimes it works that way when not working directly.

For some reason they're protected but you can delete them by connecting to a computer and navigate to the folder.

Maybe if you stock your recovery and then try to delete it, that may work. But who has time for that?

Tried all the above and nothing. .....not a major issue but the 2 backups I want to delete are gonna eventually cause me space issues.

I'm able to do it both within root explorer and TWRP. Try booting into recovery, hit restore, and the option to delete a backup should be there. The backups on this phone are huge, which is such a bummer.

The permissions for each backup folder appear to be identical, rwx, rwx-rw. Files within each backup folder have permissions of rw, rw, r.

The thing that drives me nuts are the timestamps on the backups showing 1970. I haven't messed with naming schema. Could be easy enough to fix, but I haven't looked into it. Perhaps a protect backup option exists within session, which would explain things. Maybe the answer is on the TWRP site.

Let us know if you get this figured out.

I wound up giving root explorer a try and it did the trick. Very strange that that was the only way I could get to delete it tho but I got it!!!

Root explorer? Through PC or ANDRIOD?
