You rooted and with a custom recovery doing backups?

Rooted w tibackup. Is that what's causing it? How can I fix it?

Use a file explorer or explore through your computer and delete extra backups. My issue was nandroids, which are in the Clockworkmod folder.

What recovery do you have? Have you made any backups or "nandroids"? If so, go into the recovery, and delete some. You really only need the original ICS and maybe a couple of others. Also, check how many backups you are keeping and how often you make them with Titanium.

Get a file explorer like "Root Explorer" and browse around on the sdcard folder looking for lots of files, folders and space used.

If you are using Clockworkmod, click on it and there should be a folder that says backup. In the backup folder you should have files that are date stamped. Delete the backups you don't feel you need. I now only keep about 2 or 3.

I have both cwm and tib. Should I only use one? I looked in cwm and there was only one backup. When I looked in tib there were just files.

CWM and Titanium Backup serve two different purposes. CWM will make nandroids or backups of the system. TiBu makes backups of your apps - it can do system files, but is generally not recommended. You need to understand what you are backing up, how often, and if you are deleting the old files.

You really only need two CWM nandroids - one of your original ICS, and one of whatever you are running that works. For TiBu, you also only really need one, although you could make an argument for a couple more.

Go into CWM and go to manage backups. See how many you have, and figure out what you want to keep - get rid of the rest and should be good.
