when I swapped from Xionia/rebourn 2.2.4 to drews cm7 stable 001 and gapps, I noticed my original 2g sdcard is almost full...(going to buy a new one soon)

so i went searching but found nothing specific thats says what is ok and not ok to delete from sd card, i dont want to mess anything up from the new rom, and the new ability of placing apps and such on sd card...ie: what if i need to do a backup from recovery, what files do i move to my pc? and what files do i just delete?

any help would be greatly appreciated !
 
You can wipe it. There's a folder with your pictures and media in it but if you don't care about your media, just erase the whole thing...

You can wipe it. Any apps that created a file will recreate it on reboot. If there is important data for an app you want to save you will need to copy the file from the sd card to the computer so that you can restore it to the sd card.

Forgot to mention that appear files usually have the app name in it.
