If I have to flash my phone, which I'm prepared to do if it means solving this, can someone give me a step by step walkthrough, please!
You can try (as root) "rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*" to remove the repository metadata. That may give you enough free space to uninstall the apps.

Otherwise, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware for full flashing instructions.
