What's up everyone?! I need help uninstalling "rootsh" as it will not let me do so without a fight! I get a "Unable to uninstall" when attempting to remove it. I did in fact look at the other threads similiar and attempt to follow the process but to no avail. I don't know how to use it anyway and I find that my N900 seems to run well with fewer programs. Thanks for your time!

Your right but if I wanted to uninstall it how would I do that? If their no harm in doing so I can just reinstall it right. I'm just starting over and install apps one by one is all.

If you want a clean 'start-over', reflashing is better.
However, I do sympathize - there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to uninstall it if you want to - doesn't matter what the reason. However, I never tried, so I honestly don't know how you'd do it. Hopefully someone else will know.

Rootsh gives you permission to own your device.. without it the device will own you. 
In a windows environment.. would an uninstall mean to be contained to only use My Documents.. touching anything outside of that would not be permitted.
