Went into recovery to install a backup ROM.. but none of my backups are listed...it's blank. Might have something to do with me renaming them? The latest backup did show until I renamed it.
Any advice to how to solve this issue?
* backups are present when looking through file explorer*

I initially rooted and flashed twrp recovery on my nexus 7 and then I decided to go to clockworkmod recovery since I'm very familiar with clockworkmod and I use ROM manager app. I'm not sure but I think twrp recovery images are still taking up space in my storage because I have one nandroid backup and I only have 19GB of 27.58GB storage. I have 1.6GB in apps, 0.8GB in titanium backup and 0.7GB misc. Downloads. Thanks in advance.

If you have remaining TWRP backups they will be in the TWRP folder on your SD... If you are certain you won't be using TWRP in the future just delete the folder. A better idea would probably be to move it to your PC just in case you might want them again...

.android_secure.img not found skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache.

It looks like you're trying to do a restore, not a backup. CWM goes through several items to try and restore. If one of those items isn't there, in this case .android_secure, it is skipped. What's the problem? Does the rest of the restore not work? The only other thing in there is the cache. There should also be system, data, boot, etc.
After making a nandroid backup before updating/switching ROM's, do you need to have the Rom's zip file in your phone in order to restore, or can it be deleted to save space?
Leave it until you see the ROM has no problem at all (sometimes re-flashing ROM fix some issues) after that, you can delete rom .zip but keep nandroid backup ofc.
You're awesome! Thank you kindly, that will definitely help in saving space

Got my Nexus Thursday so rooted and flashed recovery (twrp) Friday and did a nandroid in prep to flash aosp ROM but when I went looking for the file I noticed its in /data/media/tarp/backups as opposed to /sdcard/tarp/backups. Is there a way to change the directory? I created the backups folder under the trwrp on the sdcard but the backup didn't save there where I did a 2nd nandroid as a test. Do I need to fix permissions or anything?

/sdcard is a link to /data/media. They are three same file.
Just make sure you use the latest version in TWRP as it properly handles the changes in directories introduced in 4.2.

Cool. I downloaded the image from the twrp site and installed via adb so it should be correct. I guess I can install Goo Manager and make sure its up to date. I was concerned that if I wipe /data before a restore that I'll delete the nandroid.

Note that in TWRP a factory reset will format /data EXCLUDING /data/media. This means it won't wipe your /sdcard.
