Title: clear my storage/memory/sd
Post by: white_angelbreath on April 26, 2004, 01:34:57 pm

after I installed Cacko ROM 1.21, how do i free up space in my internal flash and sd card? is the original Sharp ROM also deleted or still there in the internal flash?

The internal memory is overwritten when you install a new ROM.  

To clear off an SD or CF card, open a terminal...

rm -rf /mnt/card/*
rm -rf /mnt/cf/*

Those two commands will completely wipe your cf and sd cards of all data.  Is that what you want?

If so, be careful with rm -rf ... warning running it in the wrong spot will be upsetting if you don\'t have a backup!
