My N900 was working fine, then about half hour ago i went to text someone back & i get a message saying:

' Unable to recieve or send new messages
Device storage full
Remove data to free memory'

None of the storage is full - ive deleted some unused apps, deleted conversation threads & checked the memory

Open XTerminal. Type "df /" and report back.

Your rootfs is full. Need to clear that up.

If you've used apt..

Code:
apt-get clean
can sometimes get you enough space to move around in and start uninstalling apps you grabbed from Devel.

disable all repository's from app manager

then uninstall programmes you think are causing your rootfs to be full...
i had similar problem....

there is a thread letting you know how to free up some space if your having problems

See. Use% = 100%. That means "No space left!", regardless of your claim that there actually IS space left.

The storage on your device typically is divided into three parts: root filesystem (/), /home/user and /home/user/MyDocs. The first part is used for all the mission critical stuff. The second is used for optified packages and the last for your movies, MP3s and pr0n.

In this case you need to make room on the first part to be able to install more goodies/receive SMS/whatnots since it's used for that. Removing all your pr0n won't fix it since it's stored on another part.

if you don't happen to have rootsh installed you'll need to get that. got to application manager and disable third party catalogues and extras-testing and extras-devel if you have them. If you don't have extra catalogues you can try disabling the nokia and ovi catalogues and only leave maemo.org (aka extras)
then install rootsh from there.

After that, follow some of these instructions:

Damn, wiki is down right now, but once it's up you can follow the instructions.
