Hi. I have a 16GB GT-I9300. I've used 4.8/11.4GB already and I'm looking to free up some space.

I'm powered by Siyah 1.7 running a dual boot of the 4.1.2 versions of SuperNexus and Paranoid Android.

I used SD-Maid to check which are the biggest files for a start. I can't delete the required 1.5GB partition for the second rom so in reality I have 3.3GB that I'm using. Here's what I see:

I don't know why but I have 4 backups.

2 in data.ext4.tar.a (853MB and 757MB) [1610MB] and 2 in system.ext4.tar.a (379MB and 330MB) [709MB] a combined 2319MB!!

The rest are just the PA zip (169.1MB), SN zip (133.7MB), gapps zip (88.4MB), and Siyah (6.9MB) in the Ultimate Folder [398.1MB].

Followed by random app files/misc [583MB]. I have nothing else installed..

Out of the 2319MB I can at least get half of it deleted right? So I go into CWM Recovery and go to backup>delete but there is only 2 backup files!

Where does the other two come from, how and should I delete them? I need to free up space.
