Nandroid backups take up a large percentage of my sd card, did you check there?

Well each time you do a nandroid it saves a file on your sd card with a numeric code based off the date.
Check under sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/

You should see all of them in there, you can rename them as long as you don't use spaces and you can copy them off the sd card to your computer. You could also probably delete some of your older nandroids; I currently have 8 nandroids taking up over 3 gigs; why cause I'm weird like that

Edit: I usually rename mine with the rom and version I'm running and the date, for example reborn.2.2.2-7.9

Edit2: The above file path assumes you are using xionia as a recovery.

Yeah, you're probably running Thunder-C recovery than; either way I'm glad it's sorted

thanks again, all sorted out..1 question though, should i be using xionia as a recovery?

As I understand it there's nothing directly wrong with using thunder-c for the most part; but also to my understanding you can't run CM based roms without a clockwork type recovery, which is why I would normally recommend xionia. If you are using LG based ROMs such as Shell and Reborn you should be fine.

Edit: I have recently been informed that CM builds work fine on thunder-c recovery. I had personally not used it but am certain I read an issue somewhere, At any rate it would seem it doesn't really matter which recovery you use as the only other issue is that v1 of thunder-c did not support the new lcd screens, that has been corrected with v2.

Actually it seems my previous post was incorrect, I did a quick edit.
