You can remove the Mer installer from Maemo if you go into the Application Manager and remove it as you would any program.

You can remove the customized bootmenu by downloading the latest Maemo and flasher-3.0 utility and then flashing the original initfs to the tablet. To do this, make sure that flasher-3.0 is executable (you can type "chmod a+x flasher-3.0" from terminal) shut down your tablet and then hold down the home button while hitting the power button on the tablet until a little USB icon appears in the top right hand corner of the tablets screen. Then type this command in the terminal of linux (from the same directory that flasher-3.0 is downloaded to): sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -F RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=initfs -R
I'm about to try Mer for the first time with the key word being TRY. I'm not sure if I will want to keep it on my N810 or not. So before I install it, I wanted to know how to remove it in case I don't want to keep it on there at this time, which brought me to this thread via a search.

I noticed the instructions you gave for removing the customized bootmenu are for a Linux desktop. Since I have a Windows desktop, would I be able to just reflash the N810 and restore a pre-Mer backup to get my data back (without restoring the bootmenu)?
