    I tried it
    Installed fine. Yes, nice tray
    And then uninstall fails
    In the logs :
    hello-world-app.postrm: line 11: "(" expected

    How to remove:
    cd /var/lib/dpkg/info
    sudo gainroot
    rm hello-world-app.postrm
    wget http://debfarm.free.fr/nondeb/hello-world-app.postrm

    And then go in the app manager and hit uninstall


    If it's still in the menus:
    rm /usr/share/applications/hildon/hello-world.desktop

    You're still the best dude!

    So, off free's message, I tried some things.
    DiskUsage says 56820 KB available.
    becomeroot is installed.

    I open Xterm and do :
    sudo gainroot
    apt-get remove rhapsody-installer

    56856 KB available

    apt-get remove libossoemailsmime

    57564 KB available

    apt-get remove skype-installer

    57580 KB available

    apt-get remove gizmo-installer

    57592 KB available

    The numbers aren't large, but at least they're going in the right direction.
    I reboot, and DiskUsage says 59972 KB available.
    So I seem to be up 3 megs, and down some useless icons.
    No idea if I've trashed anything in the process.

    Certainly GeneralAntilles's suggestion of just deleting the .desktops is safer,
    and the diskspace savings is hardly staggering.

    Speaking of .desktop, the Rhapsody icon is still in My Selections.
    OpenSSH is installed, so using WinSCP I SSH in to /usr/share/applications/hildon/
    and delete Rhapsody.desktop.

    While I was in there, I poked around at some other things.
    If you have Xournal installed, there's 8 megs of docs in usr/share/ghostscript/8.61/doc,
    including the fascinating Details8.htm, which is a 2.5 meg HTML file,
    Detailed History Of Ghostscript Verions.
    It's just possible that the system could run without that.

    This Linux stuff is fun.

    You may have a 3 meg osso_software_copyright.pdf in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents.

    Every little bit helps.

    Wow. How in the hell can I get rid of that? (the extra xournal stuff)

    Welcome to Linux.

    Find it and delete it.
    You can use xterm, emelFM2, SSH in from another computer, so many choices...

    Time to go search and learn some stuff.

    If you enter red-pill mode a lot of additional packages appear in the application manager including the installed application list. Unfortunately the title part is too narrow and no obvious way to expand it.

    I removed one package manually

    # apt-get remove osso-email-ui

    that saved
    578kB

    I saw it would be slow one by one.

    # dpkg -l| grep osso-email | grep -v lib | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get -y remove

    This removes just packages that have the word 'osso-email' in them, along with dependencies. Kinda interesting.
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
    osso-email-engine osso-email-l10n-dadk
    osso-email-l10n-dede osso-email-l10n-engb

    Update: System still works after killing ossomail

    After removing all packages with osso-email, I found some otther lib packages for osso email while using red pill mode app manager.

    Only one thing left to fix. How to tell other programs to use claws mail? The browser's 'send link' function is not smart, really.. it just hangs..

    Sort packages by size:
    Code:
    dpkg-query -W -f='${Installed-Size} ${Package} ${Status}\n' | grep installed | sort -n
    List of files in a package:
    Code:
    dpkg -L <packagename>
    Get the package containing one file:
    Code:
    dpkg -S <file>

    When I cleaned apps out of my n8x0 tablets, I just used the app manager in red-pill mode.
    Look at the dependencies of the app that you want to remove -- there is often a "dummy" package that groups a bunch of apps together, you need to remove this "parent dummy package" first and then you can remove the individual apps relatively easily...
