I've seen anywhere from about 5 to 15 meg, depending on how many things I have installed (or upgraded) since I last cleaned it.

What was the point of the .games folder anyways? Did Nokia expect it to be used or something?

15 mb? I saved about 80 mb with links :) And I still have 50 mb free memory for apps...

Could you expand some more on your method Kroll? just the other day I had to do a whole clean up because I had NO space. Cleaned out the locals and rebooted, and got some space back. I'm interested in your method. If I could simply stay away from using the flash unless it's needed, that would rock.

Thing is that after you install some application just move it from /usr/share/ to /media/mmc2/usr/share and link it. At least 80% of app will be moved to mmc2 and you have saved space.

Link it using emelFM2. I guess I was confused about being able to just move the app from /usr/share/ to /mediammc2/usr/share and link it, with out having to do anything special. Just that simple? I LOVE when things are easy ^_^. Don't worry, if I break it, I understand I'm the one that broke it.

Yep, it is very easy. Just use emelfm2 to link it.
Okey, about mounting and umounting mmc2. Just make two partitions: first one with swap and /usr/share and /home/user and second - your data. Then you will be able to umount your partition with data when ever you want, even swap is in use.

So, after a typo accidentally deleted all of /usr/share/locale/* I'm somewhat concerned. Is there any way someone could send me the English locale files? i'll happily pass on an email address if anyone is interested...

(Oops.)

Nevermind. I realized I could mount another partition and steal the files from there. I'm happy again.
