Do you use a particular theme or switch a lot?
You have a lot of apps that I've never installed. But I'm sure a few things will help you out. I truly suggest that you go back to my
prior list
and install in this order:
libpcre3_6.7-1osso1_armel.deb
color_ls_1.0-1_armel.deb
pcregrep_6.7-1osso1_armel.deb
localepurge_0.5.8_all.modfied.modfied.deb
Login as root, then pull a
localepurge && docpurge
. Docpurge is built-in already.
Then go do the rest about the languages, et al. Now, from there, I'd clear the caches of Fennec and Opera - Opera is bad about putting it down on the main memory and my config changes don't seem to be helping (more on that later, I want the cache on one of the external cards).
I'm going to assume that you're keeping very little on the main memory and internal memory and keeping most of that on the external memory card.
Dropping the unused *.png's and themes can give you up to 12mb right there alone. Another 10-17mb for using the localepurge and docpurge. The rest is less than 2mb - such as the keyboards, et al.
You might still have .navicore and other hidden files - I tend to pull a
ls -a | more
in /usr/share and drill down from there. There are installers still in /cd/etc that can be killed. To be honest, that's another 1.x or so megabyte more saved (it's not much).
I tend to kill the help files on the apps I download. And all README files, I kill. I'm going to assume that you've also killed the images, that Moby track, the other files that are on the main memory. If not, that's about another 9-17mb right there.
rm -rf /usr/share/mime/.Trash/*
rm -rf /var/tmp/*
Pull those two to kill apps that might have placed stuff down in places you've not intended for them to go.
Also, once you've uninstalled the -d apps you've listed above, cd /home/user/ and pull a
ls -a
Any .<applicationName> that you've uninstalled, feel free to remove them.
Do not remove
.mozilla, .purple from that location.
If I can think of where else some other stuff might be hiding, I'll list it in this thread. And I'm sure some heavy-duty users, like Addison and the rest can help out where I might be a bit lacking. I don't mind admitting that I've cobbled this together over a few years, but it's not perfect.
And by searching through this site, I've learned and added more over the years.
Oh... and I do cheat a bit... I disable my application catalogs and weekly turn them on to check for updates. Extras-Devel can bloat up to like 10mb or so. Once I update, disable them, then
apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove
then I pull a
reboot
via the terminal.
