You need rootsh installed to do that, then either "root" or "sudo gainroot". If you're out of rootfs space, can't run app manager, and don't have rootsh installed, then reflashing is probably your only option I'm afraid.

Okay, well in my case I got rootsh installed...using Healthcheck app it says I'v got 31.4MB left on roofs but still cant install d 16MB update or anything else for that matter,neither can I uninstall any app whatsoever! I spent d whole of ystdy reading thru all 223 posts on this thread and now I'm more confused than I initially was. I wld love to get rid of all d apps I got from extra devel via xterm as my App manager has been rendered totally useless, hoping that wld solve d problem...having disabled extra-devel repository,closed App manager these are d steps I'v taken with d results I got:
"rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*" to remove the repository metadata to give me enough free space to uninstall and I got rm : /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is a directory
apt-get remove qtirecco (since I suspect qtirreco is a culprit)
result
E: could not open lock file var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (2 no such file or directory
E: Unable to lock the download directory
a little detailed help please for this noob please...I dont wanna flash my device as I fear I might just take a wrong turn and mess d device all up...just like I did to my iphone...please help!

yea, I ran d code and nothing happened...on running apt get clean I still get d following results:
E: could not open lock file var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (2 no such file or directory
E: Unable to lock the download directory
App Manager just shows (no applications), (no updates available ) and on checking d log, I see Archive Directory/var/cache/apt/archves/partial is missing, just like it says in xterm whenever I run apt-get clean...is the missing directory connected to my problems arising from d full rootfs(now 38.5MB free from 31.4 earlier stated)? I just keep wandering how the missing directory varnished in the first place
sudo gainroot mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial chmod 755 /var/cache/apt/archives/partial

remove your sim card and open your phone in offline mode!
For some reason, my phone is back to some sort of life. I was able to uninstall an app right now and was able to finally disable the repos!
Will keep you posted as the night proceeds!
