thank but i want to use command line instead. it's much faster than the application

The application takes a while to start, but with the GUI presenation you're able to parse the results very quickly.

I do agree that a command line would be useful, but I want it more for historical logging and scripting purposes.

you mean the repository? If not you should remove the apps one by one.

df -ha

this list all mounted and the free space

dpkg -l

all installed apps

dpkg -l |grep ***

replace the stars to search for specific app

apt-get clean

removes the downloaded archives

vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list

to edit manually the repositories list.

There's some perl scripts I've posted at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=500101&postcount=7 which can be used for listing rootfs usage of an application (or of all applications).

What i found to be a great help was the Package View application which shows all the installed packages on the phone. Made it very helpful for me to get rid of the junk on the phone I don't use. Things like the gnuchess game and osso-lblocks and osso-marbles etc. Great tool for searching for the correct package name and then you can just remove them with apt-get remove *

wow, thanks for the command, been looking for it, always curious what version I have installed and app manager didn't show the program at all (such as preenv)
