the command you would use is apt-get in the terminal.

apt-get remove packagename

will remove a package. Depending on how the dependicies are configured the applications you list may not be removable without breaking or removing other important packages.

if you google for apt-get you'll find lots of documentation about how to use it.

to find the name of a package as sometimes they can be hard to guess you can use

dpkg --search filename

simple... install the gain root extra...
pull up terminal and issue this command

$ apt-get remove game*
This will REMOVE ALL the games
PS: I always do this to get rid of games from my ubuntu server and Linux box to remove games since i rarely play games anymore...
Here is the output..


so far everything on the N900 is working just fine. If i have to reflash then so be it but to completely remove those games use that command.
BTW, if you looked at the lines, you can actually remove the games individually by using dpkg -l i think to get a list of packages installed and remove them that way looking at the output.

thanks noobmonkey, though when i try apt-get remove, it asks me if i am root, and when i answer yes, all i get is a list of y being entered constantly.
