Anyone knows where can the backup folder be? I searched on CWM folder but it's not there. I'm trying to move the backup files to my computer.

Not there either. I've searched every folder. It's only shows when I go into recovery.

I had cwm made many backups and just changed to twrp but my internal storage is all filled up and I cannot field the previous backups to delete... Any help?
I am having this same problem too and am searching for solution... I have asked all over the forum and also googled but to no avail. Help please....
Need to search harder...

But my /data folder is empty. I use root explorer and couldn't find anything in /data folder. Was previously looking for WPA_supplicant for my ap list also....
I am currently using root explorer and es explorer v3. ES explorer v3 doesn't have the root settings. I'll download the stable version from play store and try.
Update : I've got it working. This means only es explorer can see CWM backup and wpa_supplicant

Yes it does as I'm using it! Seriously, follow EVERY instruction on my post and look at the pictures
I did some testing on my own. Root explorer works too. Just need to toggle r/w from root location. Data folder populated after that. As for the latest es explorer v3, toggling root explorer will enable data folder contents to be viewed.

Which recovery did you make the backup with? CWM and TWRP save them in different spots.

With Solid Explorer? Try a different file manager. You could always just upload the backup to the cloud and download it on your PC lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
how lol?
btw i have to copy all the clockwork folder or just the folder inside the backup folder?
i guess i need also the blob folder with all that files in it..

Just the backup folder. If you open up the blobs folder inside there will be many more EMPTY folders (at least for me).

If restoring it on your other Nexus worked, then you don't need the blob folder.

Check the permissions in your mnt/sdcard whether owner and group are root and the there are full read write permissions.
You can always cloud upload and download and
Yes you need the blobs folder. I assume you have cwm6 and the blobs folder has important files..

I am seeing /mnt/shell is empty. Please screenshots. I am able to see clockworkmod and backup file in CWM recovery mod. This is very much confusion. Can anyone please help..
Re,
In your file explorer have you a setting like "view or show hidden folders / files"? If yes tick the option maybe...
Also look at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

I can't seem to find my nandroid back ups. Usually they stay in the clockwork mod folder on the SD card. I do remember reading that they were moved to another directory somewhere. If anyone can help I will thank accordingly.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
In 4.2.x they will be in /data/media/clockworkmod but you can only view them using a root explorer. I posted some screenshots on how to find them with ES File Explorer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38857026&postcount=18
Hi,
Take a look at /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup or /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
EDIT: too slow
I'm going to steal this thread and ask... How do you access these backups from the PC though?
OK so I found the files but I can't delete them and ROM manager says they aren't there. What am I doing wrong? Need to delete these nandroids for space.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
NEVERMIND. GOT IT FIGURED OUT. PLEASE CLOSE.....
Was about to say delete them using what I posted before or delete them when in CWM
When I download and install an app (from the play store for example), I assume it comes down as an APK file which (I assume again) gets deleted.
Is there a way to recreate a .APK file from the installed app so I can save them all somewhere? Some tool maybe?
thanks
Alan
Just look in /data/app you'll find all your user installed apps as apks.

Thanks - do I need to be rooted to access /data /app? when I look in /data with ES File Explorer, it tells me the directory is empty.

Rescan your SDcard. Either reboot your phone, or download rescanSD app from the play store.

the new ones i can see in the gallery, but the old ones still cant, all the picture in the same folder !!
1. Copy them (not the parent folder) to another file or off device
2. Reboot
3. Copy back to device original folder
4. Reboot
