delete app, but storage size does not change

[Guest DannyDanny]

I am running CM7 stable.

I found this very strange that after deleting an app, (Or sending apps to SD card)

the used internal memory does not regain its space.

It gets used after installing an application, but the memory does not increase after deleting or tranfering apps.

I am looking at this from settings - manage applications, which shows the internal storage.

Is there a way that I can check this? I am running out of space but deleting does not help.

Are your apps on the SD in the first place?

You can force them to the SD with CM7/

No they are not on the SD in the first place.

How do I do that?

and is there a way I can access my internal memory and check whats taking up all the usage? (undeleted apps maybe?)

I was running a different rom, but I nandroid backup the rom and

from clockwork I deleted cache and data and flashed CM7

Would this still remain apps from the previous Rom? Or they all get deleted?

Do a full wipe in recovery and manually format the data system partitions by going into Mounts and Storage in Recovery.

I find it best to always do full wipes when changing ROM's.

Thanks. Does this mean I have to start setting up my ROM from the beginning? lol

anyway of backing up settings?

[Guest jamidodger1]

Use MyBackup Root And Back Everything Up Then Yes It'll wipe to the beginning..

[Guest DannyDanny]

Will do the full wipe now. Any particular actions I need to do? or there is a simple wipe everything button in clockwork?

Any need to partition my SD card?

I want to reset my SD card as well anyway

As I have already saved my nandroid backup files in my computer
