Where does Clockworkmod create a Backup? I have a Moto G with the bootloader unlocked, and cwm v6.0.4.7 installed. I'm still one the stock ROM, and am looking into installing cyanogenmod

Before I do this, all the articles I see advice me to do the following:
1)Create a Backup using CWM
2)Format System partition
3)Clear Dalvik Cache
4)Flash the new Rom

Now my question is, where is the backup created by Clockworkmod stored? Won't it be deleted when I clear the system partition &amp; the Dalvik cache?

Will I be able to go back to my original ROM if I follow the above steps?
It is stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups/&lt;software version with time stamp&gt;/, which on merged storage becomes: /storage/emulated/0/clockworkmod/backups/&lt;software version with time stamp&gt;/

It isn't supposed to be a hidden folder, but it might be in case someone changed something, including the CWM developer. Refer @beeshyams answer for further details.

Also, this is in reference to versions of Android below 4.2 JB for merged storage, but can be applicable up to 4.4 KitKat if the device has a separate SD card partition, i.e., no merged storage. Now, CWM does offer a choice of locations for the backup, not limited to USB OTG, external SD or internal SD partition (whether real or emulated).

Try connecting your device to your computer and see if the folder shows up there.
