2nd that. It's probably safer to list and filter to find game related packages ie. # dpkg -l | grep mahjong and then remove them individually. # apt-get remove osso-mahjong osso-graphics-game-mahjong osso-sounds-game-mahjong

[edit] I don't own a N900 so I can't check if default games depend on some other packages that are required for firmware updates to work smoothly (as some in this thread have suggested). So do at your own risk.

Re: How to remove default applications.
 
Are you talking about applications like Amazon and whatever other ones that will make you install something first before using it (yet the show up in the applications already?)

Can't you install them and then uninstall them, I think that's how you got rid of Gizmo on the n800 (it was similar.. it was listed in the applications yet when you clicked on it it opened up the application manager to install it).

Re: How to remove default applications.
 
I already got rid of amazon and whatever application through uninstall in app manager..
The reason i was interested in getting the games out as i don't use it and they use unwanted space in menu. I wish nokia had give option to create folders and i could dump all the unwanted application in extra folder..

from what i read it sounded like this is a bug for the arrangement of sorts, and not a sure way to delete the pre-installed games and other aps...

That's right. Please see the message I was replying to. The bug about no way to delete pre-installed apps is covered by my other message as follows:

I think now it's good time to return for this. Yes losing the metapackage (uninstalling the default games) prevents Application Manager seeing the firmware updates.

Well, assuming f/w upgrades from the AppManager often lead to GSM module to start losing cellular network...not a big deal.
A good f/w updated is complete flush over usb cable.

I vote for dpkg -r
