@szopin,
LOL
Could be that the dpkg log (I suppose there's some log somewhere) grew more than the config files that were deleted
Are you sure you measured free space right before and after the dpkg command?

Yeah, was doing steps from this thread and checking 'df -h /' after each. Strangely enough microb-engine gave me only ~7mb and microb seems to start up faster (compression on rootfs?). Now to find that dpkg log, if it grew by 1mb and is on rootfs optifying that should give lots more free space...

I followed these instructions and now my media doesn't play in open media player or the regular media player. As a matter of fact my media played shows 'No music', 'No videos' etc...
Opera stopped working past log in prompts etc...

Free up rootfs space
YMMV...
here are most lines...
last command has been rewritten by Joseph9560 asCode:rm /var/lib/dpkg/*old mv /usr/share/nokia-maps /home/opt/ ln -s /home/opt/nokia-maps /usr/share/nokia-maps mv /usr/share/microb-engine /home/opt ln -s /home/opt/microb-engine /usr/share/microb-engine mv /usr/share/fonts /home/opt ln -s /home/opt/fonts /usr/share/fonts mv /usr/share/locale /opt ln -s /opt/locale /usr/share/locale mv /usr/share/themes/ /home/opt/usr/share/themes ln -s /home/opt/usr/share/themes /usr/share/themes dpkg --purge tutorial-home-applet dpkg -l|grep ^rc
nota bene: moving & relinking the theme part means you can't install any new themes unless you delete the link & move the files back to their original place...Code:dpkg -l | grep ^rc | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs dpkg --purge
i use those exact instructions routinely when reflashing my N900s (now mostly the test model) and never had any problems
then again, i don't give a darn about themes

Guys, I don't know whether this information deserves a new topic but yesterday I've found a way to clean the N900 rootfs that worked fine on my device. Please handle this information with care, since I've read about people running ubuntu or debian who got the system erased by this command.
I've typed this (as root):
apt-get autoremove
my free rootfs increased by 8% but before I recommend to try this:
apt-get --simulate autoremove
this command simulates the autoremove action so, you can check the output in order to be sure that only useless packages will be removed.
Try also: apt-get moo
This won't help you in rootfs cleaning but is absolutely safe! ;-)

If you used some Application Manager to install or remove packages, there is no need for the autoremove, because that is invoked by those Application Managers.
If you did not use the Application Manager, but apt-get in X-Terminal you could use the command as root to erase the downloaded installable packages after the installation.

my free rootfs space went from 30.6 to 29.4!?! Any idea what went wrong or where the missing 1.2mb is from?
