I`ll try to be quick and specific to my problem..I would like to make clear that before i post my problem i had checked around and did not found something similar to my problem!
So..my problem is that..after i had flashed my N900 and setup it as i wanted with multiboot-power kernel 46 and CSSU with all the apps i need i have got around 1.1 gb of free space on my /home folder..!
Then i said to my self, as i was excited to test those WebOS games..Why don`t try some of them..So i started to search for them and found them all..!I installed let`s say 16 of them some ware in *.deb format so i used the build in application mananger to install them and some others were in *.ipk format so i used the WebOS games app..!
And then boom as expected...i realised that my /home space was really low and i removed 2 of those WebOS games but my /home space doesn`t seems to free up space..!!!?5 minutes ago i removed an another one Sim3...before i removed it i have got 178mb free and now i have 139mb free in my /home..!Strange...
Can u suggest me something...??

Actually I did a post on this exact topic not so long ago.
Not enough space in application install memory
I think those *.DEB games, even though they are the same WebOS games, they are not the actual WebOS games because they are meant to be *.IPK files. I am guessing you downloaded them from Torrents.
IPK files actually install to the large storage area and not your home directory.
I have some links in my post to threads on this site where one can find instructions on clearing out files on you N900. (safe links).

To have some readable output file, pipe the du output through sort:
This will sort the output, largest folders first in the file mylist.txt in Documents folder.
Code:
du -k /home | sort -nr > /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/mylist.txt
