It's not always about space. Sometimes you might have conflicting packages that won't allow you to install even if you have free space

@weedalot a flash will make it as out of the box so yes it will delete apps. Apps put some files on the rootfs and they get deleted when flashing hence the app gets deleted. Do you have any QT demo files/apps installed they fill up alot of rootfs space i deleted those and allso extras-decel apps can take up alot of rootfs space 
@bachagabriel thats true, but it's only a few apps and games like openarena and Quake. Thats the ones i remember causing trouble when upgrading FW
