Disc Defrag for tablets
 

hey guys,


I was looking for an app that might help me clear/delete files or programs... much like canola clean is to canola, i thought there might be a program or way to clean the whole device. I have deleted bomberman from the file manager ( a few times ) and yet it's still in the utilities list, even after i reboot, also i tried to install easy mer ( with no luck, I guess there was something i didnt understand or duplicate from the directions ) and have some files left over : debian-squeeze.img.ext2, debian-squeeze-img.tar.bz2, and an "unknown cdf" file. if any one knows how to get these files cleared and or knows of a way/prog to basically clean the system like disc cleaning/Defraging like on a pc please let me know.

Thanks,

Are you trying to uninstall this? If so, I would go to the Application Manager, tap "Show installed applications" and uninstall it there.

Re: Disc Defrag for tablets
 

yes i am, it doesnt show up in the installed list anymore. it just appears in the utilites list ( the lil bomberman image is no longer shoing it just shows the four blocks ).. but yes already uninstalled it, thanks though

Regularly I do try,

as root

apt-get autoclean
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean

usually cleans up system cache.

But the icons still remaining in the utilities menu still persists.
I'm haveing trouble deleting the Navit (No matter what I've done, can never
get it to read the California.bin map. I've set the coords right in the XML, linked it to the right .bin and still it doesn't show up. Even uploaded both XML files to the /home/*symlink* and the /usr/*.xml location. Any help, plz)

BTW, Linux file systems rarely, if ever, need disk defragging.

Re: Disc Defrag for tablets
 

Utilities list>Settings>Control panel>Panels>Organise(Applications)
find and delete "bomberman".

We've been told that defragmenting a hard disk is a good thing for performance, but the same is most definitely not true for flash drives.

Re: Disc Defrag for tablets
 

I've also tried this method as well, it's still there for some unknown reason. i didnt know defrag wanst good for flash drives.

Re: Disc Defrag for tablets
 

Do I go to the ( X terminal ) and just type this in ( one by one )... I'm still in the early stages of becoming a Linux user ( advanced computer user).

And on flash-based media defragging anyway doesn't do any good. No matter you are running Windows or Linux. Especally if the flash media has it's own, internal wear levellng. Then defragging is making things just worse.

Re: Disc Defrag for tablets
 

wear-levelling is intended fragmentation to prolong the life of the flash media.

ok , run
"rm -rf /usr/share/applications/hildon/bomberman.inactive /usr/share/applications/hildon/bomberman.desktop"
