what does this option do in clockworkmod? when i install a rom , should i clean this too ?
Do you need to Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM when flashing from a custom rom to another?
or can I just wipe cache partition, Dalvik cache & battery stats.
If I do Wipe Data/Factory reset from CWM, does it erase your internal SD card?
that's just the same question i want to ask!
i can't flashing the custom rom from virtuos 1.0.4 to taboonay 1.1, even i allready wipe all data and cache. should i flashing the stock rom first?

Alright guys I feel very nooby asking this but this is my first device that doesn't have a sd slot. Is there a way to flash a Rom without deleting the download and titanium folders?
My steps prior to flashing are
Wipe data, cache, n dalvik
Flash Rom
Then wipe cache n dalvik again
But if I wipe data then the Rom zip would be deleted before I can flash it?
Please help me on this thanks!

Hi,
Make only wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache, tat's all then flash your rom and reboot.
Don't wipe anything related to sd card/ext sd card or internal storage so you keep all your files in your "sd card" intact.

This won't happen on your LG G2. Even when using CWM you can see it is looking for an external SD card in the command line when doing a Factory Reset. You're internal SD card is never touched.
When you flash a ROM just:
Factory Reset
Flash Rom
Obviously make a backup first if you're worried, and you may need to flash Gapps depending on the ROM you flash.
understood, thanks guys
I'm currently using Purity Rom and I want to erase internal storage.If I do a factory reset/full wipe from recovery mode, nothing happens.All my appz and files are still there.How do I do that?
Update your recovery and wipe again. Also there is a option in your settings if you just want to wipe your data
A custom recovery purposely does not wipe the sd card. If you want to wipe that, in twrp, go to wipe, advanced, and wipe the internal sdcard. Cwm has something along those lines too.

Excuse my ignorance but I've been out of the game for 3 years and not familiar with TWRP as I used to use Clockwork Recovery. What do I need to wipe when preparing to install a custom ROM? Do I just hit factory reset in TWRP or do I advance wipe?

Wipe everything other than the partition you have the custom ROM on, so if your custom ROM is on external SD, wipe and format the whole internal
When upgrading from the same custom ROM to a newer version, you only need to wipe System and Caches

It lets me wipe:
- Davik cache
- Cache
- System
- Internal Storage
- Data
So I should wipe everything but system or?

You need to wipe everything, sometimes internal storage, sometimes not. I wipe everything including internal storage though, as a lot of unneeded files are kept there. Just transfer what you want to keep to your pc or external card.
