Ok so I was trying to get the developer packages to be able to deploy apps to my N900! And when it came to install libqtm* it install loads of random crap!

Now my rootfs is actually full - df -h shows 100% usage!

How do I remove all libqtm and fix it?

load up xterminal as root an type

or maybe a reflash would be easyer an maybe have a look as some custom emmc's so you have more room to install apps ..

Have you read the page in the wiki aboutclearing up the root fs?

Also, most of the stuff the contents that is supposed to be in /root is "hidden" i.e. the folders are preceded with a dot. If you open the terminal and type
ls /root
- are there many files/folders?
To view all, type
ls -a /root
- there should be quite a big difference!

Anything that looks like a file save by you, as opposed to one automatically created by a programme should be deleted/moved out of there. Incidentally, it might be better to use a file explorer to actually do the clearing up. For example I accidentally recorded a video to the root directory because my iplayer scripts were root-access only so I had lots of warnings but eventually tracked down the problem.

If you want to remove currently installed software, remember to purge packages using dpkg, not just apt-get remove. And, to really tidy things up remove the conf files et-al from the /etc folder and the like.

I'm sure it's just a matter of house-keeping so don't panic!

apt-get does not work - the process ended abruptly thus asks to run dpkg --configure -a - which also does not work because it can't write the lock file.

anyway i kinda fixed it by moving some libs to the memory card - but moving them back was more tricky - it's kinda bricked now, just gonna flash it now.
