The user data for some, but not all, apps is deleted by the flashing process - the Angry Birds game is an example of an app that loses its data, Mozilla Firefox is an example of one that does not. With some apps, it is possible to manually find, back up, and restore the user data.
... I am not sure but I think that there are some leftovers of the apps remaining in the folders. Is this possible and if it is, how do I know which folders and files should I delete (also not to use memory space without need)?
And a second question to that, will the old app data in the folders cause any kind of troubles when installing the same (and other new) apps again etc.?

Hyyyy...guys....flashing is finished succesfully with in 3minutes ... I would suggest to follow LINK (easy and straight forward).
Latest Device Information
Maemo 5
Version : 10.2010.19-1.203.1
I didn't flash eMMC but I have to install all my apps again...which is not that bad...good chance to clear some crap stuff out which we install just for testing.....
But one thing is that I read that new firmware will provide Skype Video calling support but how do I make video calls with SKYPE...anyway....will find out after some time when we'll get use to it....
I think Regarding the question for what to clear from 'MyDocs' is that simply search for default folders we get with N900 which are usually starts from '.***' [hidden folders in linux] and remove all other which are created by user....
Let me know guys if you find something extraordinary with new firmware....
Thanks very much for all of your comments and help (specially vectorspace)
Cheers...happy upgrading....

If your not seeing any major issues or having concerns with the older PR you might aswell wait for vodafone. They can take some time tho.
There are plenty of N95 and 5800 customers staill waiting for Vodafone years later. Vodafones firmwares are generally a pile of pooh and are all about removing functionality not enhancing the phone, So best advice is to install the UK generic FW at the earliest opportunity.

yeah, vodafone are useless, I've spent days trying to update, only to find that vodafone are the problem. I nearly went so far as to send the phone back, I thought I had a faulty machine
How did the reflash go
