Packages to safely remove to save up space?

[Redouane]

Hi,

I'm trying to make some space in DOM by removing some redundant packages, but I'm not sure which are safe to delete

For example the various drivers that are unused, or stuff like that, I'm looking for suggestions

Also, how does one delete extra languages properly after mistakenly choosing no in the wizard? just removing the enigma2-locale packages or something more?

any help would be appreciated

I already made a presentation post prior to this post, or did I miss something?

The best way to delete unused languages is by ftp as you say.

You can also use flashexpander or skinmover plugin to install plugins into pendrive usb.

Hmmm, I dunno why I thought it would be more, uh... wholesome... to delete the packages

enigma2-locale-ar
enigma2-locale-bg
enigma2-locale-ca
enigma2-locale-cs
enigma2-locale-da
enigma2-locale-de
enigma2-locale-el
... etc

via opkg remove

Flashexpander sounds like a great idea and is more like what I'm looking for, but my HDD goes to sleep after a while and I have no idea how to wake it up. Is this normal?

In any case, can I write you some packages and you tell me if they're safe to remove?

This might be helpful to someone else so I'm just gonna put it here

I've removed these wifi packages as I don't use them, along with language files and it savved some significant space
