So I rooted my phone a few months back and everything went fine and has been fine. But today I went to put some music on my phone and it says there wasn't any room. So i went through cleared old pictures and what not off and still didn't have room. I go and look for what was using all this room to discover that a Clockworkmod folder is taking up 4.82 gig. Not sure how this happened and I dont want to straight out delete it just in case it messed something up. long story short is this normal if not how do i fix this?

TLDR : clockworkmod folder taking up 5 gig. How do i fix?

It's most likely a nandroid backup

Sounds like they are nandroid backups. cwm recovery's not really recommended for our phone as it supports very few roms and has some features lacking/issues.

If you check in cwm under backup restore you should be able to see if there are any backups saved.
