hmm. I'm not at all sure about this, but I tried to run the canola cleanup. Apart from removing canola, it seemed to eliminate other bits and pieces around.
But don't take my word for it, I'm soo not sure about this!
More knowledge pending.

If you install applications with 'apt-get' instead of the application manager you should clean up the cached packages every once in a while:
- install rootsh if you haven't already done that
- type in xterm:

Hi!
Is there anyway to cleanup the leftovers from uninstalled apps?
After removing fennec I found that I didn't recover all the memory that was used for the install, and after trying some apps and uninstalling the ones I don't use, I'm runnig a bit low of memory and want to recover some free space.
Thanks
(--purge gets rid of files that are defined as a conffile in the deb file of the program that you are installing, usually files that go in /etc)
