This is disappointing. I've lost 8.1 MB of root space after installing these games from the Ovi Store

Angry Birds
Solitaire
Electric Beams
Labyrnth Lite
Exploder
Connect 4 (The clone, whatever its called)

I had the terminal open and noticed a huge drop after installing solitaire but solitaire is not that huge. I'm uninstalling all of them to see when I regain this space.

reboot the mobile, give it a bit of time. I've noticed space is gradually increasing. dno how or why.

Angry Birds seems to be fine.

I always reboot my phone after installing applicaitons to see if I've regained my space back but in this case it seems I have not.

After uninstalling solitaire, electric beams, labrynth, exploder, and connect 4 ive regained my space back.

I think that is a problem of common libraries that you will have to install sooner or later. I've installed all those games you said and I've lost just about 1.5 MB in rootfs, so I assume they're all properly optified.

These games are optified, the additional space was used by common libs or temporarily by the app manager cache.

People need to learn how to use dpkg -L before they go spouting off at how things are not optified. We have enough FUD here as it is.

By the way, with all these "common libraries" actually I've an 86% filled up rootfs, and that is quite annoying.

Alright, these games may be optified but that doesn't ignore the fact that these common libraries take up so much root space (Look at torpedo48's, ouch!). Is there anything being done about this?

That's because you probably have none optified apps from -Devel.

I was at 78% full with all "optified" applications, no devel repo enabled. I suppose 86% doesnt seem that far off.

I suppose the common library being used is libqt4-gui for QT based apps
