i just finished a clean install of Kravens CM7.2 and have a few questions

since i have a new reason to care about my "new" phone again i'd like to "trim the fat" so to speak...
meaning i'd love to clean out my sd card but want to know what is safe to delete and what is necessary to keep on my sd card....
i dont know if its ok to clean off everything or not,,,,then make backups of my apps with titanium...
i do know i need to keep my Rom and recovery backup just in case...
any thoughts?
 
Keep a couple of nandroid backups handy.

You shouldn't need to mess with the Android or the android_secure folder.

You can delete any of the dot files for applications that you have uninstalled and do not tend to install again. Many are by the developer name, so it can be tricky. Keep the ones for apps you do install and use.

You'll probably want to keep the bluetooth and downloads folders, but both can rack up old content pretty quick.

If you have modded anything and saved backups of those files, you may want to keep them around. For example, I keep my framework-res_BAK.apk file around just incase I get a little crazy with theming.

It's nice to have the Debug-FormatSYSTEM.zip file on hand for ROM hopping.

Other than that, delete the Bieber files and keep the Aerosmith. :cool:
