Complete format

Hi, I got my first Android device a few days ago. First thing I did was get clockwork recovery on their and flash with a debranded rom.

As I'm new to Android I've installed and uninstalled tons of stuff and have loads of random files lying around in different places. Next time I flash my phone I want to remove EVERYTHING. Will formatting thre sd card and using CWR to 'wipe data/cache' completerly remove everything to ensure a completely fresh install?

Also, off topic - Can you make folders in the application selection screen?

Cheers,

Wiping the data and cache will just be like doing a factory reset. If you want to remove bloatware then you will need root and then remove the apps you don't want from /system/app

Not sure what you mean by making folders in the application screen? as in the app launcher tray? with adw launcher you can make separate trays with with selected apps in them.
