okay here's version 0.3

Code:

sudo gainroot
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/Private
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/.documents
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/.images/*
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds/*
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/.videos/*
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/*
rm -r -f /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
rm -r -f /home/user/.bookmarks/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.cache/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.fmms/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.modest/cache/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.modest/images/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.modest/local-folders/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.modest/outboxes/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.osso/dictionaries/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.skype/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.thumbnails/*
rm -r -f /home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/*
rm -r -f /var/lib/gconf/apps/maemo/facebook/*
rm -r -f /var/lib/gconf/apps/maemo/hermes/*
rm -r -f /var/lib/gconf/apps/modest
rm -r -f /var/lib/gconf/apps/osso/bookmark/*
rm -r -f /media/mmc1/*

now unless anyone has some sudden realisation that it'll break something, or just won't work, it may suddenly become 1.0 - to that end;

who wants to be a guinea pig?

no really, anyone recently reflashed and fancy giving it a whirl? just to make it a little bit easier i've attached a .txt

if you haven't been reading along please don't do it, the whole purpose of this script is to delete your entire memory card, images, videos, documents, texts, email, call logs, Private folder, and other things as you can see above.

if you have been reading you'll know that i dont know s**t, haven't tried this (which is why i'm selfishly asking you to!), theres a possibility it might break something, and theres really no good reason for you to test it for me.

but if someone who knows what their doing, has recently reflashed and doesn't mind possibly having to do so again would like to try it out you'll have my eternal gratitude (or at least a weeks worth of gratitude anyway!)

also if any other spies (not enemy spies though) want to use/modify/whatever by all means feel free.
