some apps will have some settings remaining but nothing to be worried about i restored my backup from an n900 which loads of extra-devel apps on the new n900, i only restored some of them.

AFAIK you can't be sure if some app left traces in /home
so, if you want to be really sure, reflash again both nand and emmc memory
there is no more room left for traces
ps: there's nothing imposible in linux, but sometimes no worth the time

As every good noob, I just had to flash my N900 after being playing with the devel repo.
After flashing I went to install some safe apps and realize that they kept part of the configuration I had before. For example, the msn plug-in still had my login...
My question is, did all the apps leave a trace? How can I check if the problematic apps have been completely wiped down?
Thanks for your help.
