How to delete backup data

(1/2) > >>

dominic:
By mistakes I back up my Nexus on the device itself, as a result it takes a lot of storage space from my 16GB.
How do I delete these back up data so as to regain my storage space.
After deleting these data, I plan to do the back up via my PC so the data will be saved on the PC instead of the Nexus 7
Help

There's some kind of bug in recovery that stops them being deleted, I changed my recovery to CWM from ROM Manager because of this.

Try this

Remember, before deleting your backups from the device, make sure that they are backed up to your PC.  I would leave one current backup on the device at all times, just for safe measure.   This way if you change anything that prevents you from booting, you can always restore the backup. I keep a stock firmware backup with no apps installed.  This cuts down on the space.  With the firmware backed up through nandroids, you can back up you apps and data through titanium to your dropbox or Google Drive. Neither one will take up your storage space.

Many Thanks birdastrompgman
I download it and unzip the file but do not know how to apply this apps to clean the  back up data
Can you please guide me through this step by step ?
Again, I really appreciate your help
THANKS

JayJ:
It's a CWM zip so don't unzip it, flash it through CWM Recovery.
