I have been installing and uninstalling apps from the Extra and Devel Cats. So my question is what can I do to free Rootfs space and get rid of the files and folder left over from uninstalled apps. Kinda like when you uninstall something from windows it leave unneeded regs files, drivers and empty folders... (Im a average everyday Windows user, new to linux based OS)
Can someone provide a simple "how-to" for us linux noobs?

I ask because my rootfs has 20mb free and my n900 is starting to lag here and there.

Thanks
See the link on the right-hand-side of the page for "Power Search"? That's the simplest way to find answers to this type of question. The first link I got was http://wiki.maemo.org/Free_up_rootfs_space which should have most of the useful information on the subject.
