just uninstall every apps you installed from devel and testing then your space should be fine. and if it doesn't work then just reflash it using flasher or NSU.

blaming Nokia root space issues won't make anything better okay. blame yourself for being ******edly stupid for not knowing that those repos apps are not risk free. it's been warned before you installed it.
This is all well and fine that you (and others) pointed out the limitations of us unworthy non-unix nerds but...you must admit that the root space IS ridiculously small. See, we are all users. We are all customers. We all paid a lot of money for a device in a very competitive market and some of us even have some IT understanding, even if not in the world of Unix, so can't we expect a slightly user friendlier system? Do I have to feel like an idiot because I simply cannot spend all the day figuring my device out since I have to work for a living and, well like to do more constructive stuff in my spare time? Look at it this way: If there weren't that many 'noobs', your beloved device will be forgotten in a very short period of time. Or in other words: We are subsidising your addiction with our money. A little respect please. And apart from that, the repetitive warnings of the expert-only repos, they tell me that it can mess up my system, to bricking it, cause nuclear explosions etc...but clogging up my root directory with junk seems a surprisingly simple problem and a layman-solution for this should have been taken into account by the developers. My message to some (!) maemo specialists is: Calm down, this is a forum and the purpose is to find help and give help. No need for patronising behaviour. Be happy that someone DOES need your help and frankly speaking, despite me calling the iphone a toy in an earlier post I sometimes start doubting the serious usability of the N900, too. One is a toy and the other is a hobby for nerds. Something in between would be nice.
