[QUOTE=Rob1n;547996]If you've uninstalled all the apps then you shouldn't have rootfs space problems. I'd suggest running:
Mine went into a software update and planted a load of stuff onto it and couldn't complete the rest, i uninstalled what i could, but i'm still down to 19megs free. Python is zapping 54% of it going by xterminal and conky, i'v tried optimising python but get python up to date message in xterm.
Is there anything left for me to do? prior to this I'v already reflashed it 3 times (once following a nokia repair where they flashed my sim free phone with a network simlock!)
john
Code:
root apt-get clean apt-get autoremove

Please don't just hack together commands when you don't understand them.
First, +5000 means 5000 512bytes-blocks, and not kb. Second, the grep -v /home really, really hurt. Use -xdev for staying on one partition. Also, the xargs does not work as soon as the files have special characters. Last but not least, use logical operators when using several options ("-a").
A much better command is:
Code:
/usr/bin/gnu/find / -xdev -type f -a -size +5M -exec ls -lh {} \;

You can du -s /usr/share/* | sort -n
(and /usr/lib/*) to see what is taking up space on your root fs.[/QUOTE]
Sorry this could be a stupid question, but I am newbie and not an IT geeks just to understand and learn things from expert. When in the keyboard N900 to find | ?

2) cp -r /home/usr/share/themes /usr/share/themes
3) job done.
I tried the ins traction above.
1. i removed /usr/share/themes folder
2. And i tried cp -r /home/usr/share/themes /usr/share/themes
but not found following /home/usr/share/themes folder.
3. Then i rebooted my phone. Than once turned on the phone, Theme broken. Looks like some of the old windows (like win 95).After that i entered Settings and clicked to Themes menu but still i cannot enter. So i used keyboard Enter button. Then entered to Themes. But there is noting
Finally i installed new theme from application manager. But i still cannot choose that installed themes.
When i enter to themes , i can see my installed themes. But i cannot select any of the themes. How to choose default theme from terminal?
Please help me ASAP

So that far, theres no solution unless uve got a "securitycopy" of the directory.
On the side, how to get that info to the app manager im also interested, how to do that, or where the installed apps are listed
Sorry, for the little help
So far
